I had another rush of blood to the head a couple of days ago. I was in 
John Lewis in Newcastle and they were selling a load of wireless stuff 
of cheap (returns) and I picked up a D-LINK WAP (DWL-2000AP +) that I've 
just this second plugged into my (well, yours really) switch. I also 
picked up a couple of wireless NICs. I'm sure I'll regret it! I might be 
inviting you to a Wardriving drive-by the next time you're in town!
