    Sounds like a good idea, I have seen this USB dongles at Best Buy, I didn't
    take them seriously because being so small I though they would do a horrible
    job, I guess I will have to give them a shot.

    The other problem with this things is that my system is going to be expose
    to the general public and I have to somehow secure the dongle so that it
    won't get stolen!

    I don't get it, wireless is not something that was created last week, its
    been out for such a long time you would think that it would be something
    easy to find, but that does not seem to be the case with SBCs. Well, I will
    get that USB dongle tomorrow and test it to see what happens.

    Thanks.
