Wireless network question
I want to purchase a 802.11g PCMCIA card for my laptop and a PCI network card for a server I have and network them. The ideas is to have two cards in the server, a standard network card connected to my router (WAN). Then a wifi PCI card in the server connected to the PCMCIA wifi card in my laptop (LAN).
I know this works when the both cards are standard cards and the LAN card is hooked into a hub. Will it work without a hub? At present I only want to connect my laptop to the server so don't see a need for a Wireless hub.
The server is running SBS 2000
P.s
what's the dfference between these two cards.

Cant see the difference between the 2.
Maybe one is a new model?
Cant you just get a wireless access point and plug that into the router so u just need the card for the lappy?

The NETGEAR WG511 is a 54G Wireless card that support 802.11b & 802.11g Wireless
The NETGEAR WAG511 is a Wireless Tri band card that supports 802.11a, 802.11b & 802.11g
Unless you want 802.11a, then the WG511 would be more suitable

Hardly any wireless cards support server, reason being is that servers are always hard wired on the network for performance/security issues.
As Geddon said
Server with 2 x NICs, one for WAN, one for LAN.
Server LAN Nic would plug into the Wireless Access Point (WG602 v2)
Laptop with WG511 would talk to WG602

I may be missing something, but if the wireless NIC's support ad-hoc, what's the problem? I have a similar setup using linux, poor server has more NIC's than you can shake a stick at - LAN, ADSL(WANish!), 802.11....
Mind you, don't know what SBS2000 is.
