If we are using my printer, it does indeed need to be hard-wired.  Most of
last year's woes were due to not having a drop in the room and running the
wire from the team upstairs (which got severed at least twice).  As for
networking hardware, if memory serves, routers are a big no-no.  We can
probably use a switch in the room to split the drop.  Anyone have a switch
sans router?  I guess a hub would do too.

My laptop does not have wireless, so it would need to be hard-wired.
I have the cable itself, but no router. (Also if I remember correctly,
the big reason for needing the hard-wiring last year was that the printer
needed it -- is this still the case?)
