[olug] Call for Wireless Card Demo under Linux

[Sam Tetherow]

That is odd, the only thing I ever seem to have a problem with when it 
comes to wireless under linux is getting kismet to work.  I usually just 
punt and drop in a knoppix CD when I want to scan for stuff, either that 
or break out the ipaq.

Maybe it is just my hardware, toshiba laptops with internal orinoco 
chipsets or external prism based cards but I have never had problems 
getting a wireless connection up and running.

And no I'm not volunteering ;)  I haven't the breadth of the experience 
on wireless cards under linux and haven't even gotten around to testing 
2.6 yet (does nvidia have drivers out finally?)

However I am willing to try and help out anyone who is having problems. 
    Feel free to email me or kick me in the #olug channel on freenode 
and I might wake up ;) I'm usually on during business hours.
