<P>You need a Linux Box (486 or, better, a Pentium 100+ with 16MB+ ram), the
|
|
Wireless network card, an antenna (see par 2.2). You need the same on the other
|
|
end (with Win9x or WinNT, if you prefer...) cause you have to simulate a communication!

|
<P>You need:

|
<LI>recent stable kernel sources (2.2.x) </LI>
|
|
<LI>recent stable pcmcia sources (pcmcia-cs) if you bought a pcmcia card </LI>
|
|
<LI>Wireless network driver: if you don't have it you can download it from
|
|
the vendor web site or the card manufacturer web site. If you don't find it
|
|
you can search at

|
|
</OL>
|
|
<P>If you don't find even here you probably have to wait or to convert a Windows
|
|
driver to a Linux driver!! (good luck!).
|
|
<P>After that, you have to recompile your kernel, recompile your pcmcia source
|
|
(if need by the Wireless card), finally recompile your Wireless driver. That
|
|
is the generic situation, maybe for some card you have to perform step 3 only
|
|
or 1 and 3, it depends on specific driver.
