wi-fi - choice of hardware

[Richard Lyons <richard@the-place.net>]

Apologies if this subject has been overworked lately.  There have been
several threads on wireless lan kit, but I am still hesitating...

There are a number of combined adsl-modem/router/lan-switch boxes
around.  Looking on one well known UK hardware website, I see the
following, which all meet that description (I think) -- and some include
a firewall of one sort or another.

  3com Office Connect ADSL wireless 11g firewall router
	3CRWE754G72-A-UK

	Belkin 54g wireless DSL/Cable gateway router
	F5D7230UK4

	D-link DSL-904 - which includes a DSL-G604T and another item

	Netgear 54Mbps wireless ADSL firewall router
	DG834G-UK

	Netgear WGR614UK (but I think this lacks the ADSL modem)

	USRobotics 
	USR019106

The only ones that list (on that website at least) unix first and include
linux in the list of required OSs is the Netgear.  That suggests that
the DG834G is the one to go for.  But I am not the first to travel this
road, so I would like to hear from anyone who has succeeded or failed
with any of the above.  

And any helpful tips, of course.

TIA
