Hello I am interested in setting up three nodes around town. I believe all of these locations are within range of other nodes. location #1: 311 W. High St. location #2: Illinois and Cedar location #3: Broadway, between Washington and Nevada I'm looking to buy the proper equipment for all of these places. Is there a certain type of PCI wireless card I should get? I figure that I probably don't need an 802.11g card, but I would want one with decent Unix support (since the node software uses NetBSD). Here are a couple candidates: Belkin PCI 802.11b http://www.staples.com/Catalog/Browse/sku.asp?

Does anyone know any good places to purchases antennae for these nodes? Any help would be appreciated.
