I'm looking for some info that will allow better support for my students. My College currently has been using a single T-1 line for the past 5 years, and this provides access to the whole campus including 8 labs in my building. The MIS department has recently added 3 Wireless access points that are each connected to separate DSL lines. No interconection between any of these. The President wanted campus wide wireless access, so MIS did this. Solves Presidents objective, but nothing for the classrooms. I did a test after purchasing my own wireless card. In downloading the same file from the same remote site with a wired and wireless machine. The wireless machine got 40K per second, while the wired machine got 8K per second. The campus is setup by MIS with 4 Class C networks running on a single physical network (no subnets, no routing.) Only router is the one that connects to the T-1 line, and it has a 10MB ethernet interface. Three of the 4 networks are in the dhcpd pool, so I end up with classroom have a mix of all 3 networks. Without added routing entries, traffic would have to go thru the 10MB rounter instead of directly. So, working with MIS isn't an option at this point. I was thinking of adding a wireless card to my fedora machine which also runs a squid proxy server used by my lab. Is there something that would help this, or am I wasting my time.. Thanks. +----------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.
