I was considering myself doing the same, but ... Some people use laptops with integrated b or b/g cards and not sure if is so easy to find a couple of bucks card with includes drivers for all the OSs (example Mac OS X). In any case, my point of view is: 1) We should be advised even BEFORE the meeting registration is open, if the network will be weak or even worst in the support of any given widespread technology. 2) The network is a service for the participants, and consequently should be adapted to them, NEVER the participants adapt to the network ! If for whatever reason this happens, enough spare cards for the available technology with support of widespread OSs, should be made available on-site. Furthermore, the IPv6 availability has not been stable, and IPv6 today is NOT an experiment, is a real need.
