network

The first step would be to find some Linux compatible wireless hardware. You'll need an access point (I recommend a wireless router with a built in switch) and connections for your stations. The stations can probably get by with wireless USB adapters but might have to use internal PCI cards (don't know how well Linux uses the USB ports for networking). The easiest way to set up the IP addresses and such is with DHCP. This is best accomplished with a router with built-in DHCP server. Read the manual that comes with the router to set up the DHCP server and set up the stations to automatically retrieve IP settings from the server. If this isn't enough detail, just ask for more and I'll be glad to help.
