Be careful :-) Part P requires you to notify wiring work in a kitchen or
ga=
rage. LAN wiring is specifically included according to the NICEIC pocket

ide to Part P, see below. I suppose if it is an extension cable, loose

i=

I've got a couple of Homeplugs.

I installed some CAT5 cable to allow me to have a network MP3 player
in the kitchen, but then stupidly forgot to pull it through before
having the floor laid... D'oh!

So I got a couple of Homeplugs from Linitx:

.-php?cPath=3D-130

I've not had a single problem with them, they just work, music streams
without a hiccup.

You can.

Supposed to end at the meter but you can also set up a password for
your network so only modules using that password will connect to it.
