[olug] Wireless Hardware Recommendations

[Sam Tetherow]

If you do get a WET-11 be sure to do a firmware upgrade as soon as you 
get it, however if you can spend a few extra bucks I would suggest 
buying a reliable piece of hardware, such as the engenius wireless 
client bridge (EL-2611 CB3 Plus) it costs a bit more ($130) but it has a 
200mW Prism based card and doesn't need to be power cycled all the time. 
  It also has the PoE option so you can place it anywhere you can string 
a CAT-5 cable to.
