[Ti] Software Base Station

[Mark C. Langston]

Actually, the AirPort base station is a Lucent WaveLAN card, and no
external antenna...just the one built into the PCMCIA card.  The
extra hardware is the small computer that has the firmware necessary for
providing TCP/IP, SNMP, and AppleTalk support, and code necessary to interface
with the Ethernet, PCMCIA, and RJ11 ports.
