NodeGSG
Node GSG is now up, though very short-range. It lives in West Melbourne, between the railway and Spencer street.The router is a laptop running Debian GNU/Linux "unstable", kernel 2.4.21 with a 3Com 589 (with a dodgy dongle) and an Avaya Silver (orinoco) card. No antennas on the roof (none for Wifi anyway) as of yet.

My first WarDriving expedition with a windows laptop and NetStumbler resulted in 150 hits (excluding NodeGSG). You can grab the log from ftp://ftp.cafuego.net/pub/users/cafuego/stuff/Wardrive%20Melbourne%2020030701.ns1.gz and load that into NetStumbler, if you want to have a look at what I picked up.

I borrowed a ladder from my neighbour and have been on the roof. Here are the shots:

Am now the happy owner of a Linksys BEFW11S4 version 4 AP. I've updated some info in LocFinder, but am still hunting for tx power and antenna gain numbers.

Well, it's been a while since I updated this, so I'd better. The BEFW11S4v4 turned out to be C R A P and I returned it 3 days after I got it - It would crash for unknown reasons at least twice a day and require a hard reset to come back up. Its replacement (which hasn't ever crashed) is a D-Link 604+ DSL Modem with built-in AP.
I've also purloined a Minitar AP and installed that at the in-laws. It's NodeHWP.
