I tested my laptop with UC wireless this week, which is restricted to UC 
affiliated people who register the MAC address of their card.  It 
_seems_ like I got a standard internet IP without restriction.  I could 
browse the web and use ssh.  My plan is to then run a local network 
through my wired ethernet card to give others internet access.  I don't 
know if this will all work, though!  Plus, we will be limited to my 
wireless bandwidth (11Mbs), and the wireless connection is unencrypted.

I'm using an Atmel chipset card, which works great.  I haven't yet been 
able to get my wife's Realtek chipset card to work, though.
