Do you think it will be that expensive! I just hope they will let me purchase it separate from their base station so I can use it with my apple airport

Have heard that the Xircom SWE is a winner. According to informed sources, in beta testing it is showing very well. Also, there will be no need to purchase a wireless hub as long as you have access to such or are a part of a wireless LAN. An Apple Airport should be fine. Just know the IP address for the hub is my guess.

Any idea if this will work on a peer-to-peer 802.11b network, with no base station?
