I just got a broadband Internet connection and bought a Linksys WAG200G=20
router with a wireless access point (as the name implies it's a G=20
standard). I bought wireless only because it was not that much more=20
expensive than a wired-only model. Since my T23 comes without a built-in =

WiFi adapter I am considering various options of making it wireless=20
capable. There are only two reasonable options, a PCMCIA adapter and an=20
internal, preferably Intel-based, miniPCI card. I discount the USB=20
adapters, as the T23 has only 2 ports anyway. The problem is that my=20
machine does not have the built in antenna. So is it worth the hassle to =

install it?

I'd appreciate any feedback.

My uptime is ca. 98% Debian GNU/Linux (with the approx. 2% Win2k), so=20
whatever the solution will be it should be as Open as possible.

Thanks in advance.
