Yea, but that is all stuff to worry about after
I find hardware that actually works :-).

I should also be sure to setup wireless security
and not broadcast my SSID, etc. (so as not to
attract the MIS department's attention, who
would surely tell me I'm not allowed no matter
how secure I make the interface :-).
