Wireless Networking Newsgroup

[Ron Storey]

I have done about as many searches as I can think of, but I cannot find a NewsGroup or discussion group (NG) that is dedicated to wireless networking. Although most of the wireless networks I am involved in are adapted to Windows, I occasionally run into a mix mode that will include one or more Mac computers. I have also found problems with mixing hardware (i.e. a Belkin Router with a Linksys card, and I have heard many complaints about mixing different cards with a D-Link Router).



Are any of you familiar with a NG that is dedicated to wireless networking and may have information about Windows and Mac, D-Link, Linksys, 2Wire, etc.? I am sure I am overlooking something in my search and that there must be a NG that covers this, but I need your help to find it.



Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi
Look for microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless
I am not familiar with MAC issues. As far as Windows goes, mixing standart 802.11b/g cards form D-Link, Linksys, and other brand name should not be an issue. Mixing special cards, like SuperG, pre-N.MIMO etc. might be an issue when working in the none standard modes.
