Ok, slightly odd, but special need here that means wireless cards in each PC might not be my best (by that I mean cheapest) option. Indeed for what I am up to the bridge / access point might only need to be the basic 802.11b rather than "g" speed.
Simply put I am building a "farm" of odds and ends PCs for distributed computing crunchers. So while I only have 2 PCs upstairs at the mo, more may be added (so OK it breaks NTL's rules for number of computers). I've already got loads of ethernet NICs seems silly to spend out upgrading them for wireless. If I could, I'd run a ethernet upstairs, but that't impractical.
And yes before you say it, I am slightly mad
