Pop fizzle fizzle
Last night I decided to move my home router and wireless upstairs to hopefully get a little better signal propogation for the wifi. I plugged stuff back in and powered up the dsl modem and wireless access point and thought I heard the click whir whir of my linux router machine starting up too. But I hadn't powered that on. Instead I was hearing the pop fizzle fizzle of my WAP11 subjected to the DSL modem's transformer which is 12v instead of 5v.
Maybe this is an excuse to upgrade to a G-capable router and retire the old Pentium 1 133Mhz linux router.
