It is, actually.
I'm in charge of the networking setup for FOSSCON 2007, to be held in
the Town and Country hotel in San Diego. They have no existing wireless
infrastructure and have requested that I build out my own. I am, of
course, using real enterprise hardware (Cisco Aironet 1200 series, for
those interested) instead of COTS hardware like at PyCon. I have four
total A/B/G units and one which I'll use for WDS (and disable the radios
for better performance). I could probably add a fifth (and have the
hardware to do so) if need be. We'll see how things turn out -- i'm
especially excited about configuring the traffic shaping so users doing
huge updates don't feast on all the available network bandwidth. That's
something I've not done before. :)
Thanks for the link!
