The test network will be hosted by a four-port 1U-rack mount server I
have.  Each port is serving up a different sub-net.  We will use one of
these for testing and snooping so the snooper software will not see the
traffic on the WiFi network because it will not be directly connected to
it.  On another of the sub-nets can have Richie's laptop which we will
configure to act as a NAT router to the WiFi.
