Can anyone recommend an 802.11g capable wireless access point? (I'm currently using a PCI card for this purpose but am getting tired of driver doom.) The only wireless device it'd routinely serve is my iBook but visitors might be expected to bring their laptops occasioanlly.

Relatedly, can someone explain what level these devices operate on? I get the impression from manuals and googling that they are layer 2 devices and act like a repeater or bridge between a wired ethernet LAN and a wireless LAN, but could do with confirmation from someone more knowledgeable.

I've configured my journal to allow people on my friends list to add tags. Please apply common sense.

People reading via chiark.journals currently won't see these. I'll change the script to make it add a Keywords: field at some point, as they are in the RSS. Even then they'll only see the tags on the posting when it gets scraped into the newsgroup, although I suppose I could use Supersedes:...

People who are interested in the script I use to repost this journal into chiark.journals are directed to rjk@greenend.org.uk--2004/lj2news--mainline--0. Currently Arch is the best way to get an up to date copy, I'll make another proper release when I'm sure it's not about to change again.
