Lisa, This is the kind of thing I'd appreciate more communication/notice from ATS about. Some short message on teh NAG list in December would have been great. Natural Science had both SSIDs working for a little which confused me. Somehow though, I didn't have any questions about from users. Perhaps people are used to having to fiddle with wireless to get it to work. This wireless techbase article doesn't mention this (http://techbase.msu.edu/article.asp?id=14931), nor is there anything on tech.msu.edu That said, this is a really welcome change for the very reason you did it. Thanks for thinking of us mobile users. Your wireless map is also very nice ( http://wireless.msu.edu/maps/ ).
