This companies products are very interesting. They seem to take an
interesting approach: ditch the access point. Attach two networks by
installing a wireless nic in two intel boxes and running them as
routers. They IDE flash hard disk with router software on it is a great
idea (the problem with most PC routers is their dependence on flaky hard
drives) and it's using a Linux kernel. For any "home" networking I do
this may be a better solution than futzing about with brain-dead access
points.
