What most of us seem to be using is:

Base station: Linksys WAP 
Laptops: Orinoco Silver/Gold cards (Gold cards have a higher level of
encryption, but both have been hacked!)

I bought mine from John Tankard (john@xxxxxxx), and have nothing but praise
for his service. He's also a member of this list ;-)

Hiya,

I know this topic has probably been done to death already, so my
apologies if it has, but theres been so many things discussed Im a
little confused.

Could someone recommend a (relatively) cheap starter wireless kit, 2
connections for laptops, and one back to the ethernet connection. The
distance involved is only ~20-30 metres max, so nothing incredibly
special is needed.

Regards,

Tony.
