TUTORIAL: To Be Determined

PRESENTATION: Wireless Networking by Allen Rueter, Washington Univ.

Allen will go over some of the acronyms for wireless networks. Cover some of
points of the standards (Freq, power, etc), types of wireless networks, how
it is like and different from old 10Base2, roaming issues, access control,
other standards, interference, voodoo and magic, costs: wired vs wireless,
if time permits security. 

Allen Rueter is Director of Computing Technology Services in the School of
Engineering and Applied Science at Washington University. Someone at Purdue
taught him how to rewire an 80-80 board when he was 12, in order to help his
dad with his masters thesis, back in the 60s. After a couple year hiatus, he
went back to goofing around with computers. The Computer Science department
has had a wireless network for 4 years (started at 1Mb).

Meetings of the St. Louis Unix Users Group (SLUUG) are held from
6:30 PM to 9:00 PM every SECOND WEDNESDAY of each month.  Meetings
are free and open to everyone.
      
Our meetings explore open standards, open systems and open source
software with Unix and Unix-like operating systems such as AIX,
the three BSD flavors, HP-UX, Hurd, Linux, SCO, Solaris, and Sun.
