I'll take a look at this today too.

I have the rest of this week off, and I'd like to spend most of it
doing Noisebridge-improvement projects, so any suggestions as to
things that need to get done are useful.

Hmm. Were you using noisebridge-a by chance? I haven't been able to
connect through there and get a lease in a while. I still need to
troubleshoot that. 802.11b "noisebridge" has been working for me
though.

There's no lack of APs around here (though we do have a lack of 48VDC
supplies), so it's definitely something I could setup.
