Have you tried any of the 'home made' waveguide antennas?

Something that could be potentially a bit of fun would be to make an
amateur wireless backbone. If we know enough interested people within line
of site of each other...I was on the roof of my new house in Port St
Mary the other day, and I get quite a good view from there, and idle
thoughts turned to 'how nice it would be if there was an antenna on the
top of that hill to the north'.
What wireless equipment have you found to be well-supported under Linux?

Another meet would be good.
Also, since there are a few good LAN party games for Linux (Unreal
Tournament, Quake etc.) a LAN party might be in order some time. When my
new house is eventually finished, it's got Cat5e wiring all around, so I'd
be happy to host one if people don't mind leaving Douglas!
