Gnuveau takes a little different attitude towards wireless access points than
usual. We think that instead of a seperate 802.11b device to provide wireless access,
a better job can be done with a pci or pcmcia card with a PrismII chipset,
the Debian/GNU Linux operating system, and
a HostAP enabled Linux kernel, like Gnuveau's Memome. With this combination,
the wireless card in your computer becomes a wireless access point, with many
more options than an off the shelf wireless access point, such as IPSec strong
encryption and firewalling for security, ethernet bridging, proxying, and many
others. Also included are the standards that you would expect, like DHCP
and NAT, as well as NoCat/Radius authentication, useful for public access
points. Contact info@gnuveau.net for more
information about migrating your wireless network to GNU/Linux.
