I wanted to know what you need to do WiFi networking in a house with a SL-C860?

what I have:

a Linksys befw11s4 wiresless access point router
1 socket low power CF wifi card

a cable/dsl connection of course

I also have a WCF12 Linksys cf wifi card that works too.

A Wireless Access Point is one way.

Another solution is through an adhoc network.  If you throw a wifi card into a computer that  already has access to the intenet you can use that  computer as a bridge and setup an adhoc connection.

OMG is that true? So you get a Wifi card and you stick it into a computer that\'s wired to a LAN connection or dsl connection and you can get it with no antenna??????
