Okay, let's try this from a different perspective:

Those of you who make presentations at computer programming conferences:

You bring your own laptops, don't you? How do you connect to wireless

projectors? Do you have to install the hotel's software on your laptops in

order to do so? And how does this work in large-room presentations where

multiple projectors hitting multiple screens are all displaying your

presentation.

Any information I can get on this would be helpful.

The stumbling block, for me, is this: If I connect by wire from a laptop to

a projector, I do it with a VGA cable. The existing video driver on the

laptop sees the projector as a second monitor. It gives me option to use

either the projector, the laptop. or both ("clone") as my monitors. I don't

have to install any special software or hook up the projector to the network.

Why is it so difficult to enable this same kind of connection wirelessly?

What I think I really need is wireless transceiver dongles that plug into

the laptop's and projector's VGA ports. Why should I be forced to go

through the rigmarole of a WAP and a "network device" metaphore when all I

want is for the projector to be a second monitor on my laptop?
