There is nothing wrong with trying to expand the horizons of LTSP by 
making it wireless.  There are many current day situations that a 
wireless LTSP would make sense.  "N" networking negates the 
speed/capacity issue and one could even suggest that it is better than 
100mbs networking.  I would also encourage continued work in LTSP making 
the bandwidth for each client less.
