[K12OSN] K12LTSP wireless?

[Andrew Fisk]

Getting the cards to work on the server should be fairly straight  
forward -- you could even buy PCI cards with PCMCIA slots which would  
broaden the range of hardware supported -- and there are plenty of  
wireless terminals around --  but they tend to be sold  to do a  
specific task like collect inventory info  (fire up your wifi out  
side a Wal-Mart) or handle a credit card transaction -- you might be  
able to repurpose a Point of Sale Terminal, but you could buy miles  
of cat 5 for the cost differential between those and old desktops  
(which you should be able to get pretty much for free).

Although it would be a neat project -- where are you trying to get  
to?  If you really need wireless you might do better to hard wire a  
"pod" of 3 or 4 desktops to a small wireless access point and connect  
the server the same way if you have to -- you would still suffer from  
the bandwidth issues already mentioned, but at least you could to a  
standard client and server install.



Thanks
