Wifi Kicks Ass!

Oh, I love the wireless internet stuff. I just bought a wireless card from Linksys last Thursday, and I got it set up in Linux and an using it right now to surf the 802.11b network at NC State.

Once I got the card added to /etc/pcmcia/config, it bound to the Orinoco driver, and I just pulled up an IP via DHCP. Really slick.

Sitting in the lobby, I an getting about 50KB/s, downloading OpenOffice 1.0.1. Figured it was about time to upgrade.

Next, I will have to update my main box to Debian 3.0 I feel confident enough now that I can get it installed without too much hassle.

One thought on “Wifi Kicks Ass!

  1. Geeze. You know, I wonder if I got one of those uber-powerful directional antennas, attached it to my WAP, and pointed it at your house if I could share the broadband love with ya’… Then again I might just give you brain tumors. Scratch that… with as big of a bandwidth whore as I am you probably wouldn’t get much anyway ;-]
