We were in the meeting when you sent the mail :)
Have to ask, we propably will have answer tomorrow.

We'll propably have wired access with HUT dhcp on friday, and wlan
operational on monday.

Uh, what machines are we using FAI for? We have like five or six
servers, and those are easy enough to manage by hand. We cannot
configure them at once anyway.

Plan currently is to glue our stuff with HUT so that people can use
their username/password with the "Aalto" wireless network at CSD.

Practical result of plugging your own AP into TKK network is that
you'll get to choose between our (debconf) network access getting
cut or your AP getting slight cosmetical tuning with a modified
baseball bat.
So, don't even bother thinking about bringing your own.
We have dozens AP's and two engineers from Intel to install them.
