Urgent: need to ID some Network Manager icons - STAT!

[Michael Butash]

Tons of things do, old cordless, legacy proprietary wireless 
mice/keyboard/remote controls, ir-replacements, random bits of 
pseudo-ethernet devices (sonos audio system comes to mind), bluetooth, 
and most anything else "wireless" defacto runs in 2.4ghz, including 
99.9% of wireless computers blasting out torrents (literally) of 
packetized and attuned rf.

I won't reiterate a plethora of wireless bits, but 2.4 bites for lack of 
total non-overlapping channels, it's more or less the cesspool every 
device defaults to, good, bad, or ugly.

I did read somewhere that supposed there was a 3.6ghz spectrum released 
for general consumption to give more network band, and there's always 
5ghz, which is preferred with 802.11a, or 802.11n that can use either band.
