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.
You're kidding right? No host that I'm aware of ever set-out to build a
poorly performing wireless network. From my perspective, with the
exception of some spatially and temporarly localized issues the big
problems have have been solved since tuesday morning.
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.
The ssh I've had up to 2001:468:d01:a2::80df:a2 has been up for one day
1:35. Perhaps your ipv6 availability is tied to any link-layer
availability problem you have.

I've only occasionally found the network stable enough
At the danger of spilling the beans:
Once I switched may laptop to .11a, the network has been rock-solid.
(I ran a ping yesterday, and it did not lose *a single packet* on the
wireless over a period of hours.)
Gruesse, Carsten
PS.: I bought my .11a card on Ebay for a couple bucks :-)
