Smile HCL suggestion


I suggest splitting the Network Cards section of the HCL into two parts: Wired and Wireless. This would make it easier to research wireless hardware, since the model numbers aren't always that intuitive (i.e. NetGear FA311 = wired, MA311 = wireless. What??? )

I actually would have to agree.. even maybe a whole section for Wireless type hardware separate from the rest, etc.

Huh... when Jer and I were putting the groups together we really didn't think of an issue like that. For odd stuff like bridges I was thinking of asking Jer to create an over-reached category call "gadgets", as the review process gives me a chance to move something elsewhere if it doesn't belong.

Any other cats that you think may need to be chopped up/added?

Cheers,

Finegan

I would go with Trickykid
A section for wireless
subsections for
Cards, Bridges, other w/l gadgets

I can only see this area of computing / communications
growing and growing

A miscellaneous section for Gadgets is not silly either and no doubt in a few years time you'll be spliiting that up ...
after all we now have fridges and microwave ovens with computers in them that connect to the net, and track the contents there-in, in a few years ( months ? ) some one is bound to ask about loading Mandrake onto the internet powered fridge.

live long and prosper

Perhaps even if the titles always started with "wlan:" or something it would make it a bit clearer.
