Having been seriously scarred by presuming that wireless was similar to
wired, I'm a believer in careful testing, rather than "expecting" that
something should work. Without "running code", demonstrably working,
I'll take nothing on faith in this area.
Wireless != wired, is what I took away from that (painful) experience.
