[MLB-WIRELESS] Wireless Cards

[Robert Foster]

That would have been good to know... about a month back :)  I'm actually
moving to Hoppers Crossing in about 2 weeks time, and money constraints
dictate that I have to wait until then to get my wireless hardware.  (I'm
going to be using a wireless network in my new house... saves having to
drill holes everywhere (I hope... will have to see what the range is like
indoors and through walls/floors/ceilings etc.)

Anyone in that area interested in setting up a cluster of nodes?  I should
get some pretty good LOS if I can find a way to get on the roof safely.
