    Hey everyone, here's what I want to do:
    I have a linksys wusb54gv4 wireless usb thingie. I want to use this on 3 computers (all running linux but that shouldn't matter, I know this device works on ubuntu) at the same time. Is there some kind of splitter thing that will do this. If you could give me a link or just tell me what it's called, that'd be great!

    I sort of want the opposite of that. What I want is to plug my usb card into more than one comp at the same time. I guess that means I'd plug the card in, and then have cords hooking it up to all the other computers.

    You can't do that, Why not just buy wifi netcards for all computers? Just get a Wifi modem and use the wifi cards..
