Okay so i have a spare box thats not doing much. I'm consdering making it a router, primarily because my current linksys is sucking. I usually have to powercycle the router a couple times a day. the network will randomly die

. Anyway, know of a few os's but the biggest thing i'm worried about is wireless: can i use any old wireless NIC (assuming itrs compatible with linux) or do i need some special feature on it?
