NodeJTX
Describe NodeJTX here.19/5/2007
Well got both network cards connected, one to a 9db Omni and one to a 6db panel, and configured one card to 10.10.200.1(essid NodeJTX1) and other to 10.10.210.1(essid NodeJTX0) with each having a .10-.20 DHCP scope. (yes I know I havent been allocated IPs yet, this was just for quick testing as they are easy to type.)
Testing with my trusty ipaq 3660, PCMCIA expansion pack, an Orinoco gold card and running ministumbler I successfully found both nodes. Having the Omni Jammed between 2 cushions on my couch to hold it upright and the panel balancing on top of the couch, I have just now gone for a wander NSEW (as I am on a intersection corner) to see what signal strenght and distance I got.
Even from the mount point in the lounge, I have to say the distance was I got before all signal dropped off was
I am still having one problem though. After I do a soft reboot (SSH into the WRAP and do a reboot command) while the device list shows the SR2 card, I cant find it at all with my Ipaq. If anybody has any ideas why this occurs please let me know, mainly cause the SR2 card is meant to be my Omni and my CM9 for the directional 24db dish eventually.

Well This is me here and I am setting up a new node (obviously).
I had recently purchased in the last month a WRAP2 board, outdoors box and 2 minipci cards to go with it from
Yawarra and using the CF image "voyage031_512_Eber.img.gz" from their site I had no end of problems getting the damn wireless things to work! (The OS did boot up, and using Putty I was able to SSH into the ethernet port)I finally stumbled over this reference
page and everything started to click into place.What I will do is document what I did to get it working, including the testing steps I did on the way, and hopefully post it.
But with all the recent rain I still gotta get up to the roof yet and find what A/B/G nodes I can see and posible connect to.
