Deploying wireless? Wait a few months and look for "WPS"

Glenn Fleishman's blog reports that WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is going to hit the market in 2007. This system, just ratified by the equipment makers in the Wi-Fi Alliance, offers several straightforward ways for telling multiple pieces of equipment that they'll be part of the same secure network.
A Medal of Cluefulness to them all.
