New from ASUS onboard wifi on a desktop board
http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2006/09...us_p5b_deluxe/
note the RP-SMA on the top edge to the left of all the other plugs. Further reading shows its a Realtek RTL8187L USB 2.0 controller serving up 802.11a/b/g modes along with 64 station software access point functionality. But because its a card and not fully intergrated onboard... that leaves options for other vendors one would hope.

What is it with you and news from 2003?
It's a sweet motherboard though. I'll hopefully be purchasing this very similar board soon as the heart of a new Core 2 Duo video rig. Just need to save up the cash!

Yeah, the link's dead, but I couldn't find (or at least, I couldn't be bothered to find) some of the original pages for it all. I'm sure el Reg covered it back in the day. And yeah, they're British, as am I. A friend of a friend even works for them. I think If I get one of those boards I'll pull the wireless module off it and fill up the blanking plate on the back with sticky tape. It's not a hard choice between gigabit ethernet and 802.11g...

I like the idea of using it as a router/firewall/access point device. Although I've got a file server running on a fanless 800 mhz Via C3 at home, sometimes I think that's a little over powered and just wasting electricity; replacing it for something with a 500 watt power supply would make me feel very guilty indeed.
