Complete change of plans, now looking at wireless LAN options, is the
WRT54G from Linksys a good buy or is Wireless-G something to stick
away from for the time being?? The reviews I have seen seem to slate
it's performance in a mixed b and g environment. (Have an Ipaq to
connect as well now!)

My other option is to just buy the wired BEFSR41 now and live with a
cable crossing the dinning room (and no Ipaq) and wait for the final
g standard and some 2nd generation 802.11b and g combined kit to hit
the shops

Thoughts??

Paul
