My original post got eaten by the lists -- probably too big... I'm reposting in sections. After this intro follow sections on Configuration, Compatibility, Stack, Other Issues, and Actions. Enjoy! :-)
--- WiFi-ers... Here I am, still feeling "up to the challenge"... I have stopped hyper-ventilating and the nervous vomiting is all over... :-) Having accepted the wireless role, I wanted to review the discussions prompted by Jeff's "State of the Union" message from a little over a week ago. There is lots of good talent involved in these discussions, and I believe a surprisingly high level of agreement (some of it nearly violent!) amongst the players. Below I have recapped what I saw as most of the important issues. I have endorsed some of the ideas, mostly those which seem to have broad agreement. I have also thrown-out a few ideas of my own. Please do comment on all of them, as neither my summaries nor my original ideas are likely to be without fault. :-) I have primarily grouped the issues into configuration, compatibility, and stack concerns. I also included an "other" group for a few other concerns that I though were worth mentioning. Finally, I have included an "actions" section to reveal some of my near-term plans and some of what I am thinking about beyond that. I would love to hear any comments you might have on these items as well. Thanks for taking the time to look this over. Creating this recap has reinforced one thing: this is far too big for just a single person (or even a small group) to tackle alone! Thanks, John -- John W.
