Without breaking the NDA, I can tell you this....

You will see "FUNKY" stuff.

You will not see wireless because it isn't listed on the lab blueprint.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/learning/le3/ccie/rs/lab_exam_blueprint.html

If you are going on next Tuesday, I would look at that blueprint and make
sure you know that stuff very well. If you don't have time, be sure that you
know how to find it quickly on the Doc CD. Also, keep in mind the Doc CD
doesn't always have the info you need on these topics or they might have
been poorly documented.

Good luck on Tues!

Eric
