Just a
thought. If you are concerned about security (if not this is irrelevant)of
WLANs
then you should only connect AP to a switch not a hub (if you are really
into
security all APs should go through a firewall before hitting the main
network,
but overkill for most of us I suspect) the reason is that by default
ethernet
broadcasts to all stations, so if you use a hub all data on your network
will go
out from the AP, meaning more available to anyone in range. This also means
more
data for cracking software to work with. It might also affect performance
ofthe
WLAN, but not sure on that.

For
us that already have server with ADSL and ICS running on server in node0,
how
do we integrate wireless stuff into existing network?
Do
we just plug AP into existing hub/switch.
Or
if we want to make it cheaper, can we buy 2 wireless cards, stick one into
server with ICS and other into tablet and do "something" on
server
so I can access internet and LAN from Fujitsu
tablet?
