I don't think that I'll be able to personally be at the next fest, but I 
have a Belkin wireless router that I can loan to you guys for the next 
fest if you think it would be useful.  It's pretty robust about 
connecting to an AP and then providing real hardwired Ethernet ports for 
the Linux machines to use if they are having wireless problems.  It has 
its own DHCP server, NAT router, etc. which all seem to work well.  At 
least that could provide network connectivity for people until they get 
their wireless configurations going.

At home I use it in bridged mode with its twin to provide an Ethernet 
connection to an old PC running Ubuntu Breezy that has no Wifi NIC.  If 
Devry has a fast Ethernet connection but a slow Wifi connection then 
using 2 of these to provide more bandwidth via our own Wifi network may 
be a good option.

That would be really handy.  I may be able to provide an old laptop for 
use as an ISO server.

Let me know if you want to borrow this stuff, and how to get it to you.
