New WiFi Ethernet Adapter

Could be handy. smile.gif

"If you have an older Mac that isn't AirPort-capable and you'd still like to connect it to an AirPort network, SMC Networks has introduced a new device as part of its EZ Connect line -- the SMC2671W. It's a platform-independent device that hooks up anything with an Ethernet interface to a wireless network."

"The SMC2671W works on the same 2.4GHz frequency as other 802.11b-compliant devices, and works without any drivers."

$99

That’s cool kelly, ...... take a looksee at this. B)
"Seeing Wi-Fi everywhere and hearing Wi-Fi everywhere, there was a natural curiosity to get our thumb on the pulse of what's going on here," said Carter, the report author. "There's some really neat stuff coming out here and it's potentially disruptive (but) some of the most interesting developments will not be in Wi-Fi."
