It sounds like VPN would be the most difficult to set up and maintain, followed by SSH tunneling, followed by Zebedee tunneling. Maybe I'm wrong though. With tunneling, would I need to set up 4 or 5 different tunnels for CUPS, IMAP, SMTP, non-standard port HTTPS, and SSH (if I'm using Zebedee)? To send me mail, mail servers need to connect to my remote server's SMTP right?

ics on either and I can't find them in the kernel. I've put 16 or so hours into this so far so I'll head to Staples for a temporary Linksys soon. I sure would like to have Gentoo routing though. Please let me know if you have any ideas. - Grant -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

in 2.6.24 kernels. I should mention though, I attached that antenna to a PCI madwifi card and it works much better. Obviously that won't work for a laptop or if you want to move the antenna a distance from the computer via USB cable as opposed to antenna extension cable. - Grant -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

forms the Hawking adapter. The Hawking's drivers are fairly new (rt2x00) and madwifi has been around for quite a while now. I do have another rt2x00 adapter that performs noticeably worse than the Hawking. It's a Linksys and it has no external antenna. Also worth noting is that this item: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833315075 uses rt2x00 but has some type of failure issue. Possibly heat related, possibly not. I've experienced it firsthand. - Grant -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
