Some ARRL notes on 802.11 usage.

http://www.arrl.org/hsmm/HSMM_802.11.html

The only observation I'd have to make on Writelog and wireless is that I'm 
unsure of Writelog's recent handling of tcpip, especially in terms in 
increased latency issues and the simplex nature of wireless 
communications.  In terms of noise there is the odd birdy in the HF region 
from the wireless units but no noticable increase in the noise floor and I 
have a very quite location to test with.  No interference issues at all 
and, if anything, 802.11 wireless seems to have a higher immunity to high 
HF RF fields than cabled networks.   I'm tempted to convert to all 
wireless for this reason, no cables or poorly shielded 
hubs/switches/routers/power supplies to contend with - just the one 
wireless unit that can be suitably dealt with as needed.
