Uhm, this guy was our cyber-czar or whatever the f$ck the luddite head-in-the-sand majority-oops-no-now-they-are-the-minority leadership calls these new positions (why the hell does the U.S.A. need a CZAR for anything?!? I never understood that.)
Don't get me wrong, I like Clarke, but his book made me raise my eyebrows and wonder if this guy ever bothered to have a real bona-fide GEEK read his transcripts before submitting them. He supports technology and gets it...he's just not that tech savvy himself (I dare anyone to prove otherwise.)

FanacooL, are you using centralized management software, or just a couple of COTS ap/routers you bought at Bestbuy?
Nope i am not using centralized management software, its like i have 4 AP's of Symbol Inc. And the clients connecting to these AP's are Laptop's and PDA's and each one of them has there own software for configuration. I am not worried about anything or there is issue the network is pretty much OK but its just the Curiosity to know the exact procedure behind this.
One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man!
