Opinion shared here.

I'm starting to wondering what change may be necessary to current stack design 
to include wireless interfaces & protocols.

Functionnal. What's a LDAP strong integration into our stack will give us?
I was more inclined to add ZeroConf (aka RendezVous in Apple lingua) support, 
which I see a more obvious bonus for a desktop os user. 
Not so many have LDAP server(s) on their LAN or WAN yet, no? 
Or did I (completly) miss something?
