Well, at this stage, not quite what I want to do, but that may change.  I'm 
planning on being the AP, since there's none (other than the zillions that 
can be wardriven - geeze, almost all networks are insecure here), certainly 
no MW stuff.  I have to install another NIC in my firewall box, so I can 
have a "wireless" zone with limited access to my network/Internet 
(basically only VPNs for me, and maybe SMTP/POP3 access for people I trust 
and can pre-register...  And of course, access to the MW site ;)
