Larry, I just recently installed a Linksys wireless network in my house.
I'm using the wireless router (BEFW11S4), the USB network adapter on both of
my daughters' computers and the PCMCIA card (WPC11) on my laptop.
Everything has worked great, right out of the box. I have 128-bit WEP
encryption enabled with no discernible reduction in performance, and no
apparent problem with sharing my cable connection.
