Is there any way to take existing USB and firewire devices (such as a
firewire external hard drive and a USB printer) and make them wireless by
putting them on a 802.11 wifi network or on bluetooth? I know there are
adapters that plug into the USB port of your computer and give you bluetooth
functionality. I want the reverse - an adapter which has a bluetooth
receiver and USB/firwewire ports that you can plug peripherals into. I'm
going to be running OSX on a powerbook and would like to use my existing
devices wirelessly... Any such thing exists? If so, please cc: replies to
mlevin77[at]comcast.net. Thanks!

I haven't heard of that, but that WOULD be cool! Except, you'd need a
big battery someplace. Firewire suppose to support something like
45watts!

I'd like to put USB cams all over the yard! ;-)
