I thought the WiMax modem had a eth link to the machine - and you > connect and setup via a browser? Yes, there are at least 2 types of receivers - indoor and outdoor. I think the outdoor one emits 802.11 after receiving 802.16 (or might be configurable to be a repeater instead), while the indoor device will have eth port(s) and acts as a normal cable modem in that you can then use a router to distribute the line. There are also USB devices which are practically like WiFi adapters, but for 802.16 and need to be supported by operating system drivers. -- GPG/PGP ID: B42DDCAD _______________________________________________ LUGS Mailing list - [email protected] List FAQ: http://wiki.lugs.org.sg/LugsMailingListFaq Info page: http://www.lugs.org.sg/mailman/listinfo/slugnet To unsubscribe send an empty email to: [email protected]
