Sonic DSL and LinkSys routers (was Re: DSL and Linux questions...)

[Lincoln Peters]

Don't expect anything wireless to work quite right.  The WEP encryption in 
the 802.11b wireless protocol was found to be broken a while ago, so many 
companies, rather than wait for a new standard (which I think came out a few 
weeks ago), created their own proprietary patches.  When companies make 
proprietary adjustments like that, compatibility between manufacturers seems 
to always goes to hell.

I have a wired 100BaseTX Ethernet in my house, and I don't think that I'll 
convert to wireless any time soon.
