Hams do wi-fi to/from airplane and other places

Take a look at this webpage:
http://www.yars.org/wifi/
and for some more background
http://www.arrl.org/tis/info/HTML/high-speed-digital/
and of course, a wiki entry on the "Hinternet" "Ham" + "Internet"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Speed_Multimedia

I've got some thoughts on using this technology in amateur radio locally. I'm mulling over how to compress and summarize them into bite-sized 'blog-ready' format. Some of you guys have a 'preview' version in your email in-box.

Out of curiosity, have any of our number worked with wireless LANs (802.11 b/g) much ?
I suspect a lot of folks have the popular Linksys WRT54G plugged in right next to the cable modem...

I will make the assumption most everyone reading the blog does so over DSL or cable connections... any folks using Starband, rural wireless (ex: Atlas Broadband) or other alternatives to dial-up ?
