At
least
some (and probably all) APs allow you to restrict access by MAC
address. There's probably some sort of registration process
(dunno
yet, haven't got mine!) to register the card with the AP so they can talk
the
same encrytption levels etc....
Should
be easy enough - though of course ppl hacking in could still be a
problem
- though that applies whether you have an AP or
not.

So,
your
suggestion is to use AP, and connect it to my existing switch on fixed
network.
And then put wireless card in Fujitsu tablet.
But
I
need to program switch then to accept traffic from my wireless card only,
not
someone else's in neighbourhood.

You can get USB adapters. Not

with em yet, but ~ £90.

Yup Use different channel & switch on

If routed to your ibroadband
there
is the risk that some script kiddy or other scally will use your connection
to piggy back to do dodgy things. Not to your data but from your
connection so law turns up on your door. Some security is recommended. Same
reason you should have personnal firewall software. Don't make
life easy for these b*stards. There is a practice called war driving
where
you put a laptop in car & drive around mapping unsecure networks to
use..
The sooftware for this is easily available (and legitiamtely
used by
security analysts & net admins)
