Re: Wireless LAN setup

[Daniel MD <im-thinking@clix.pt>]

WARNING: if you are using openBSD for it's security features, you probably 
don't wanna run a wireless network, i know that lucent says its high 
security, still wend we talk wireless there is allot to explore, for 
instance if you use wireless keyboards, finding your passwords is as easy 
as getting a wireless receiver (the same kind as the Keyboard) put in a 
laptop, and opening a text editor.

Lucent is a reputed corporation, i have nothing bad to say abut them, they 
have some of the best researchers and labs in the world, so they know what 
they do very well.
Contact them to ask abut setting up a wireless openBSD LAN server, i think 
you will find that setting up the windows OS clients will be easy, there is 
allot of support, so any difficulties will easily be overcome, you may want 
to check out some solutions that are more unix-centric than win-centric.

If you want to run a Orinoco with all safety tools it comes with, your 
network will have to have a windows OS server.

Best of luck tell us what you decided, and difficulties you have.
