I haven't been able to come to a meeting yet, but I'll be there for that one! Getting encryption to work is my major stumbling block right now (mac address locked only...).

I'd be willing. I haven't had much luck with the prism2 chipset in my Symbol/Nortel card on the 2.4 kernel, though. Maybe it's about time I tried again.
