Once again I have to thank my brother<\/a>, who supplies me with hardware, fast and cheap.\u00c2\u00a0 This time he got me D-Link DWL-G520<\/a> wireless card (PCI).\u00c2\u00a0 I plugged it into my home server (appologies for a few short downtimes), downloaded and installed madwifi drivers<\/a> from ATrpms<\/a>, and go immediately connected with my notebook<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 Everything works extremely well.<\/p>\n

Now I have to think about securing the wireless network.\u00c2\u00a0 Previously, I was thinking to ignore the issue due to the lack of competent neighbors, but when I scanned<\/strike> looked around and found as many as 4 wireless networks within my reach, I reconsidered.<\/p>\n
