Spelling: NodeJTX
Describe NodeJTX [1] 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 [2])
and other to 10.10.210.1(essid NodeJTX0 [3]) 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 [4] and using the
CF image "voyage031_512_Eber.img.gz" [5] 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 [6] 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.
