[MLB-WIRELESS] Re: IF: Networking for the installfest

[Barry Park]

Guys, guys, guys,
Before we get too far, can we stick to the list on the installfest wiki so
we can (a) have consistency in what is brought and (b) work around
compat/config problems before the day.
Rick, if you're bringing a PC or a lappy that is not related to the core
network as outlined on the wiki page, then yes, you will need to BYO network
and power cables.
