Maybe I should clarify things a little. We have a networked device (comes with a 10Mbps Ethernet RJ45 interface) and we're trying to piece together a "demo box" for it. The device itself is intended to be powered by a decent capacity rechargable battery. What we want to do is make it so this device can be demonstrated with the netbook that'll be taken around with it, but without having to mess around plugging in cables, etc. So, essentially you can visit a potential customer, open up the box, turn on the device & view the info from the netbook. The device is in a box that has a fair degree of unused space, so we were thinking of putting a low power, physically small WAP in there.
