802.11

Isn't wireless ethernet great?

Last weekend I sniffed my neighbor's 802.11 network with my office laptop and Mike's cantenna. Their cable modem access is considerably faster than my good old dialup account.

Being an upright sort of guy I approached them to let them know I was doing it. "Work is paying for it, I don't care" was the response I got. Cool.

Tomorrow I need to go to Fry's at lunch to get a card for my home PC.

Very cool! I want to do that! How do you do the sniff? Should I be able to pick anything up off my infrared port?

Brad, You do remember that Uncle Nate is with the F.B.I.? Isn't he in the same building with the F.C.C.?

Welcome to the world of high speed access.. You'll never be satisfied with POTS again...
