It *seems* like a great idea (what little I know about it) but I have nothing but issues when it comes to associating with common APs, determining if we're online or not, and apps with "off-line mode" like Firefox and Pidgin (which has no user-accessible toggle, as far as I can tell).

That might be really interesting even for a technoidiot like me. Mostly
I just want to know how I can get and stay connected at PSU. I can
connect instantly and stay connected reliably anywhere else, but after
they did stuff(1) to the wireless network last summer it has become a
pain to get and stay connected.

Maybe if I knew more about how these things work it would help.

(1) Stuff = rearranging the wireless network in ways of which I have no
ken and, apparently, of which PSU's tech support has no ken either.
