Internet Access/Wireless Network

USENIX is pleased to offer Internet connectivity at LISA '08 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 one of our Laptop Lounges for an Ethernet connection and power outlet. The NOC features a laser printer and pretty graphs on a big LCD.

Thanks to our wireless sponsor Xirrus, Inc. If you're curious about the strange, round wireless devices, visit their booth on the show floor, #17.

Thanks also to Managed and Monitored Network Services, LLC, for monitoring and redundant DHCP and DNS.

The wired and wireless networks provided by USENIX at this conference are for the use of conference attendees only, subject to the following conditions:

• USENIX may monitor these networks.
• Any illicit or intrusive use of the network, including packet sniffing, is expressly forbidden.
• The wireless network is open and insecure. USENIX strongly recommends that all users encrypt their transmissions. Users are solely responsible for the security of their passwords and data.

Take a moment to chat with these folks and ask them to sign their photos. All you need to win is three signed faces in a row: across, down, or diagonal. The center space is a free space. Once you've completed the bingo, drop by the Membership Booth to spin the Bingo Prize Wheel. Prizes range from T-shirts through key chains to USB hubs and more.
