Linux Firmware For Some 802.11b Access Points
drwho writes "This just unveiled at the BAWUG meeting tonight: Linux firmware for Access Points. Check this URL for more info. I haven't tried it yet but it looks great!"

Just get an airport base station as your 802.11 access point, and then configure it to only accept connections from MACs you trust, using the appropriate box in the GUI. Oh, wait, that wouldn't be as much fun. It's too easy.

When I first saw this post, I thought - what a jackass moderator, marking this post as redundant. I mean, he's just trying to help. Then I realized that that's exactly what posting a mirror is: redundant and informative.
