We have a 100mb fibre/UTP network throughout the school.  Two areas, the 2 Art 
Rooms and 2 D&T work areas are not currently cabled.  One room adjacent to 
these areas has a fibre link to an Allied Telesyn FS709FC Fast Ethernet Switch 
which serves 20 computers in that Room.

Is it physically possible to have computers in the Art and D&T Rooms with 
wireless network cards connecting to the Main Server via a Receiver attached to 
one of the spare sockets on this Switch?

We don't want to put in more UTP because this area is to undergo significant 
renovations within the next two years, yet the teachers are crying out for 
access to the Server and Internet.
