There's been a  great deal of wireless networking discussion by NBLUG members.
The meeting appears to be merely about another networking aspect, and my guess
is it may or may not touch Linux directly, insofar as Linux is about
networking.  If the presenters MUST be baptized Linux users (verified of course
by any would-be posters), who do not have some product to push (unless it has a
direct Linux tie-in), then this post fails.
