Wireless doo-dah
I’ve just invested in a very cool (but quite ugly) device: you can get one here.
It’s basically a mini wireless access point that’s powered by USB - or at the flick of a switch it becomes an ethernet-to-wireless adapter.
I’m currently using mine to free my sitting room of one less wire (one down, 3,251 to go…)
It’s small enough to chuck into a laptop bag and take to meetings/LAN parties/ etc…
The only downside is the configuration - theoretically it’s web-based - but I had to fire up virtual PC and use the Windows Binaries - as the “web” interface is a real mess of Windows IE-only JavaScript. Firebird/IE:Mac/Safari all choked and Mozilla choked half way through configuration.
