-.) **hardware** For using wireless LAN you'll need a computer with a Wi-Fi card (802.11b/g). Today's laptops do have an integrated Wi-Fi card. If this card is not available, you'll need an external USB-device or a PCMCIA plug-in card for your laptop, which can be bought for around 30 Euros each. You can use every network adapter which supports standard IEEE 802.11b/g.
