Hi Guys
I currently have a 7 machine XP network with a Fedora Core 1 server. This
has an attached XH1148 external USB ADSL modem.
We're sick of network cables everywhere and are thinking of going wireless.

Assuming I picked up a DSE 802.11g ADSL Router and a bunch of 802.11g cards
for the PCs/laptops around the place, would it work as follows:

The router just plugs into the JetStream socket and doesn't need a PC
All the machines with 802.11g cards would just see these as new network
devices?
How would I configure the router -would I need to cable it to a pc, or could
I do it wirelessly?
Will the 802.11g PCI card work OK under fedora Core 1?

If there's a FAQ or somewhere I should go to RTFM that would be great too

cheers
