fun stuff - dvd - 802.11g

[Alvin Oga <aoga@ns.Linux-Consulting.com>]

hi ya

i've been playing with various new toys/widgets for next year

i've just gotten the distro to recognize the Netgear WG311 pci 
802.11g card  ( have a linksys card too but havent tested it yet )

	- note that its "g" 54Mbps  ... vs the slower 802.11[a/b]

	- i got it working with the athros drivers from madwifi
		http://www.sourceforge.net/madwifi

	- now the trick is to setup another box just like it
	and the two machines should be able to talk to each other
	over 802.11g  ...

	- differences in various wireless stuff

	- not that WEP is NOT secure ... ( its been cracked )

and the other fun stuff... i just bought my first dvd .. w/out having
a player or system setup ...
	- played w/ ogle, xine, mplayer, few others..

	- after a few hours of fiddling ( installing various packages )

	- "dvd player" is now working .. so now i need a new set of
	real speakers and real audio amps

	- dvd stuff that ws installed
