Wireless Comms

[kingandy]

I need to wireless-enable my PC. Point 1 is, stsquad, am I looking for "Wireless Networking" or "Bluetooth"? Point 2, mrssshhh, is CCL where you work? I'm remembering your warnings about hunting me down for murder should I use eBuyer, so I don't want to inadvertently offend you by shopping from the wrong place.

I suspect you want wlan - bluetooth is still not all it is cracked up to be and if stsquad is using it I will be shocked :P

I dunno - he might want a ~bloody slow~ and ~short range~ WLAN...

ISTR he has it on his PDA, but that's probably only because it came with it.

My iPAQ has both 802.11b Wireless LAN *AND* Bluetooth... But it usses the Wireless LAN to surf the net and the Bluetooth to talk to my mobile...

I do actually have bluetooth on my mobile and my iPAQ so at somepoint I'll be getting a USB bluetooth dongle so they can talk to my PC. However I need to get linux on my iPAQ first so I don't feel dirty everytime I start it up.
