Wireless Linux through a bridge: Will it work?
Ok...so I'm still very new to linux *and* wireless stuff. I am stuck in a nasty situation of not being allowed by my apartment complex to have a new cable modem outlet installed in the spare bedroom. I can't run wire on the wall either cause the cable modem is downstairs.
(sorry for the wordy intro)...anyways, I was wondering if, by getting a wireless router/wireless bridge combo, I could circumnavigate the problem of linux support of the new wireless pci cards. It seems logical enough to me since you would just be plugging in a cat5 from the bridge to the computer so you wouldn't have to worry about new hardware configuration, but then again I *am* a n00b! Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the patience and help...cheers!
