         Well  I got everything i need to install it but due to my 
earlier intellectual activity I don't seem to have enough
left to finish the job today.  Earlier I was turning my wireless router 
back on.  Maybe I can get the MadWiFi installed
and running by Monday night.
     Thanks for your advice Samir.
