What do you mean by "giant chore"? Almost all wireless implementations I can think of popup and ask for the password, and that's it. There's nothing else to configure. If you are running into trouble giving the password out to everyone, you can write it on the whiteboard and erase it when you're done with the class. Anyone who knows what wireless is will already know how to connect and enter a password, and those who don't won't be missing it anyway. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
