I travel with a MacBookPro and have taken all the obvious steps to secure my box. I have an unused wireless router (WRT54GL v1.1) that I would love to take with me and add another layer to my armor.
I've reflashed it to WW-DRT and understand that I can run the router as a client. Rabbit ears would capture the signal from WiFi hotspot (motel) and the laptop would be connected to the router via CAT5. In other words, the router is running in the opposite direction.
How much security am I really gaining with this setup? As secure as OSX has been, a hardware NAT firewall is always superior to a software solution.
