[plug] Wireless Linux + A good linux book!

[Benjamin Woods]

Hi guys,

I was looking at setting up a wireless network at home.
I have 3 desktop PC's and 2 laptops.

I was thinking of getting the Linksys WRT54GS from shop.linuxit.com.au 
to do this for me, but it's $264.99... is this a normal price? Will this 
have an advantage since it runs on linux? I will also need to connect to 
windows boxes using it.

I will be using debian linux and windows XP.

Is this the right thing to be looking for?
Also, i will need a few PCI wireless network cards for my desktops... 
where might I get these and do I need to look for anything in particular 
for linux compatibility?

I will maybe also need a bit of guidance when setting this up. I was 
just wondering if you guys could recommend a good linux book and know 
where I could buy it. Dymocks and Collins only have ones about Red Hat 
Linux 9 (a bit old...and red hatty), and if I want to order in "Linux in 
a nutshell v4" it will cost me $100! Any cheaper ideas?

Thanks alot.
