I'm interested in the possibility of setting up a small wireless
network (2 IBM thinkpads running RedHat 7.1) with a DSL connection.

Does anyone know if this can easily be done and if so can you provide
pointers to supported/recommended hardware, Howto's etc.  I'm a complete
novice with respect to even basic networking and DSL issues.  I assume
that I would use DHCP for the networking.

Some people have recomended using a linksys device but it is not at all
clear to me that their router (or any other) and wireless PCMCIA cards
will be supported.

Thanks very much,
Dan
