Internet Access/Wireless Network

USENIX is pleased to offer Internet connectivity at LISA '09 via an open, unsecured 802.11a/b/g WiFi network. Customs confiscated your laptop? No problem! Our registration computers are available for general use when not engaged in registering attendees. Prefer the peace of mind only CAT5 can bring? Visit our Laptop Lounge (Falkland) for an Ethernet connection and power outlet. Printing is available in the Laptop Lounge.

Thanks to our wireless sponsor, Xirrus Inc. If you're curious about the strange, round wireless devices, visit their exhibition booth, #101.
