    The last time I contacted the campground, I asked them how their WiFi
access worked to see if I could get an idea of how they were doing the
authentication. What they told me is that you just need to come to the
front desk and when you pay for the 'net access, they will give you a
password. Wether they have some sort of MAC address based authentication
and individual passwords or if they are just giving out the WEP password,
I'm not sure. A wireless router might do the trick, perhaps connected via
a crossover cable to an access point in "client" mode. Depends on what
sort of authentication they are doing I guess.
