The LMR-400 has been terminated, pc is set up, now i am faced with
the task of getting the WL200 to work with debian, looks like it might
take a little while...

Fianlly purchased a Compaq 100mW PCI card, 8dbi omni antena, and 10m
of LMR400 for a grand total of $200
so i am 1 step closer to setting up a decent AP.
I have also got a P3 500 and a P1 100, one of which i will be making
in to a router (very soon i hope).
more news in a few weeks

i have now got a set of pci and pcmcia cards for home use to play
around with, and a wireless router/ap.
currently in the process of aquiring another AP/bridge
AP will be situated under my roof, with no more than 2m of coax
running to (most likely) an omni of some sort, which will initially be
attached to the side of my tv antena.
I have yet to do any testing in the way of reception, but planning to
establish a semi-permanent link with Dan (node GMR) pending on what
sort of equipment i will get. I dont think there will be a problem
with reception.
My long term goal is to establish a connection (not direct) with node
DCC, when it finally comes online in the near future, hopefully
withing the month
