I always assume Wifi is insecure.  Iptables shields up and
all transfers via ssh.  Machines don't even ping.  And even
a little security by obscurity on top of that- sshd on a
nonstandard port, unique per host (which is also handy when
port-forwarding from the router- ssh to multiple hosts from
single ip with a little simple $HOME/.ssh/config magic).

Outstanding.  Thank you sir- that's a site to bookmark.

Outstanding.  Thank you sir.  Second reference to Atheros.

I wonder of the router can link to another router?  

Anyone have experience with the latency of modern wireless
chipsets?  Have they improved at all or are they still way
worse than wired?
