wow
layer 8 is stupid ....
keep in mind I'd survey the acoustic environment first.
what kind of radio noise Is already there ?
then you're talking about trading insulated cables for a shared radio
environment ?
on one or 2 access points !
even if you lock down access points on different frequencies it seems real
scary to me!
it could end up being like 100 devices on a hub !
you'd also have to secure everyone with leap or peap and manage those
usernames
I'd pitch it as a supplement not a replacement.
