I hate replying to my own posts but I missed the wireless comment, if you
want wireless connectvity *sometimes* I would put in a seperate wireless
access point, that way you can just turn it off when not using it and
flip it on when you want to. It also gives you the added benefit of being
able to put it where you want it as a seperate stand alone device and not
have to drag the cable or dsl modem around.
