WLAN

[Teemu Rinta-aho]

Hi,

nice to notice that the IETF WLAN is also working here at the
Embassy Suites hotel, which is far (ab. 2 miles) away from the
Sheraton... Is here a secret/uninformed access point or is the range
of WLAN this awesome on this side of the world?-)

BR,
Teemu

So? My network interface card is not.

I just wanted to know if there is an access
point in the hotel or not.

Thank you. That was nice service from Qualcomm, just too
bad there was no information of the wireless coverage
on the meeting web pages.
