Re: wireless internet on Sun Ultra2

[Greg Cokorinos <gregc@bellatlantic.net>]

I'd suggest using an external wireless access point that supports 
"wireless bridging mode" (for example a Linksys WAP11) and connect it to 
your Ultra2 over the built-in hme0 ethernet port.  The wireless AP would 
forward the U2's DHCP requests to your ISP for configuration.  There's 
no need to even open the cover.

Of course, you should have some kind of firewall running on the U2 and 
on any other host that is wired to the AP.
