[dba-Tech] For Rocky - Wireless Networking

I just spoke with Mr. Wu.  He's had a wireless network for about 2 years and
it's been stable.  Although we both live next to a school and he says that
they show up on his available wireless networks from time to time and
they're wide open.  He uses encryption.  He thinks it may be someone's new
2.4GHz telephone nearby which is channel hopping.
