[Preston] Network Newbie need help with WiFi

[Ken Wolstencroft]

St Annes is not a problem, the idea is to build a number of nodes and then
fill in the gaps.
I was considering using zebra, but I will have a look at mobile mesh.

At present I have been building a central user database for radius
authentication. This will allow users to access any of our groups nodes from
a single user account, the idea is to connect users via vpn.

I would like to build a list of potential nodes for the group, so if anyone
is interested either e-mail me direct or to the list. The group website will
be launched at the end of the week, so if you would like to join the fun I
will add you to the list of nodes.

All the best,
Ken

I would be interested in learning more about this. I now have a system set
up
here using 802.11b, hooked up to a 10dbi antenna, but as I am in St Annes
this may be too far away.

What are you using for the dynamic routing? I was using OSPF/Zebra, but
ended
up switching to mobile mesh as it handles some things a lot better, and is a
lot less of a pain to install ;o)
