Would a quick way of sharing this samba server (running debian-arm -
my nslu2) be to buy a usb wireless adaptor (alongside the wired
ethernet), plug it in and configure to my wireless router? The nslu2
isn't that far away from the wireless router (albeit on the first
floor, while the wireless is on the ground floor). My laptops get good
connectivity when I am sat near the nslu2.
Would the server happily live on two networks like this? What usb
wireless adaptors should I avoid/can anyone recommend? Can the samba
server happily live with two interfaces like this? Would samba over
usb wireless be quick enough?
(Aside: apologies once again for these very likely newbie questions,
but I'm kind of having fun with this nslu2, and it's good to be back
with debian again).
TIA
Adam
