Could anything be cooler than cheap wireless networking? Check out Apple's Airport, a $300 base unit which uses radio frequencies to extend an 11 megabit/sec datarate over a 300 foot diameter. The Airport has an ethernet (RJ-45) plug and a modem (RJ-11) plug. Check www.apple.com/airport for more info. The PCMCIA client-side cards are $99. No Linux drivers that I know of, but the hardware RFC is certainly open and the cards exist. That's what I'm getting for Christmas (even if I have to buy it for myself...)
