[MLB-WIRELESS] Node GHO - ROCKS!

[Ryan Abbenhuys]

Don't forget people, GHO won't be there forever and is by no means an
alternative for local AP's.

Eventually I believe the plan is to lock it down so that it can be used as a
backbone link to connect various areas around melbourne that would otherwise
not be able to connect.

You can imagine what would happen if it were just left as an open
AP.....bandwidth gets less and less as more people connect, next thing you
know you're better off on dialup!
