I think it's eminently on-topic for this list and I've certainly
enjoyed the discussion so far, but there might be something to be said
for a dedicated wireless list for the area.  There are a decent number
of people using something other than Linux who'd have something to
contribute and it'd provide a natural place for people to swap
hardware, organize a freenet[0], post interesting links, etc.  I've
poked around and found nothing but RMWUG (which appears hopelessly
MS-centric and devoted to phones).  A hardware and platform agnostic
wireless discussion list with an open charter seems like useful niche
to fill.
