There's a good chance I may be able to persuade Apple to donate a bunch
of 11Mb/s IEEE 802.11 Wireless/Ethernet bridges (the things we call
"AirPort") to IETF, on a permanent basis, for the meetings.
Any interest? How many would we want? A couple for the terminal room and
one each per meeting room?
These are absolutely standard 11Mb/s IEEE 802.11DS base stations, not
some proprietary Apple thing. PC users can get 802.11DS cards from
companies like Lucent: <http://www.wavelan.com/>
Lucent's web site provide a list of resellers:

I have heard good reports about Brumleynet. They sell 11Mb/s WaveLAN
cards for $160: <http://www.brumleynet.com/>
