As I frequently travel around SE Asia, I found it increasingly difficult to get online with my own laptop in an internet caf=E9.
A solution would be to turn the pc, you get assigned, into a wireless router and access the net from your laptop through the router. You would need to do this however without installing any network drivers. The machines are pretty much locked down and do not allow driver installs.
An option I am considering is to use a USB device that behaves like a wifi stick but looks to the pc like a memory stick. The wifi tcp packets from the laptop would be picked up by the stick and saved as files. A standalone little app running on the pc would find these files and send them through the internet. Received tcp packets would travel the opposite direction.
The Eye-fi sd card (combined with usb-sd adapter) looks pretty much what I am looking for on the hardware side, but unfortunately its use is limited and until now there was not much luck hacking it.
So my question is if anyone can think of a better way to tackle this problem or could point me to a more appropriate h/w solution.
Thank you, Toffie
