I can save you the trouble:
I have a authorization to borrow a Cisco Catalyst 2948G-L3 48x Gig and a
Dell PowerEdge 750 with 2x 500 gig SATA300.
The PowerEdge is just configured to serve DHCP leases with special
attributes for PXE booting systems into the Fedora 10 installer. I can
add NAT and a PCI wireless card
I can still meet you out there to test out any kinks. Likely the WIFI
system is setup to require interactive login with your library card on to
obtain a DHCP lease in the proper VLAN.
