Here I am sitting in my room in Stornoway with my iBook connected by WiFi to my DSL connection. Doesn't sound like much, but I never thought I'd see it happen on this island :) Setting it up was no hassle whatsoever: got a Linksys WAG54G (the DSL version of the incredibly popular WRT54G) and a couple of Belkin 54g PCI cards for the desktops, one of which is not needed as it's wired to the router, though it gives some flexibility in positioning the box for best signal if we need to. The iBook already had the Airport Extreme on board, and Dabs threw a Linksys 54G Cardbus card in for my old laptop which my brother now uses. Discovered Windows XP doesn't support WPA encryption without SP1, so I'm going to install that and upgrade to it from WEP later on. All in all I'm happy.
