If I get a job, I'll want to build a wireless Ethernet network in my house. Just hook my laptop, a computer or two in different rooms (without having to run the CAT5 cable to those rooms), and maybe my neighboor next door (who I found was a big Linux fan, and like me has been out of work for a while). What is the range on these networks? My brother-in-law lives about 6 to 7 miles away, and doesn't use the Internet much, but would like to share my DSL access with him. I cannot see how I could get a line to run to his house, or if the Wireless Ethernet can go that far.
How much would I be talking about spending to get a Wireless Hub, and two or three adapters? One a PCMCIA card, and two PCI cards?
