[olug] Call for Wireless Card Demo under Linux

[Nathan D. Rotschafer]

I would offer to do this but I work till 7:30pm and have no car and have no
linux box right now...#2 can be taken care of if someone has a lappy they
might want me to use...otherwise I can hope I get this Dell 600m fixed in
time for this (needs a new screen and keyboard which I just found on ebay
for a total of $50).  Note that this one has built-in intel wireless from
the centrino platform.
