I'm wanting to create a community wireless LAN using a water tower as a passive reflector and hoping for ~5 mile radius of the water tower. I am also wanting to use the minimum CPU horsepower for the wireless<>internet gateway. This is why I'm trying to get a wireless device working in my old 80586x120. ;-) Chuck nc8q
