Heya. I work for Obsidian Consulting Group - we do primarily traffic
counting and billing systems for ISP's and similar. I'm really
interested in the whole wireless thing, partially from a general geek
"cool, I can use my laptop anywhere" angle, but also in terms of how
things get routed and traffic monitored, how to build something
that'll give people feedback on link quality and usage across the
network, how to setup a good solid network that can deal with failures
gracefully, etc etc. -
I have a very very small node in Coburg, running off a 2dbi antenna
plugged into a cisco access point atm - that's changing as I get my
own gear purchased and installed, I'm hoping to be able to put a
decent strength omni on the roof and see who I can see. Although I'm
in a near-dead-zone reception-wise, so I'm not expecting too much.
Update: Well, the other node is up, it's an Enterasys card in ad-hoc
mode:
rhad:~# iwconfig eth2
eth2 IEEE 802.11-DS ESSID:"bofh" Nickname:"rhadw"
Mode:Ad-Hoc Frequency:2.422GHz Cell: 00:01:F4:EC:00:FD Bit
Rate:2Mb/s Tx-Power=15 dBm Sensitivity:1/3
rhad:~# ifconfig eth2
eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:01:F4:EC:00:FD
inet addr:203.20.99.129 Bcast:203.20.99.255 Mask:255.255.255.224 UP
BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
It's not really doing anything at this stage, but it's there.
