[nycwireless] Monday in Passaic, NJ
I am hoping to do some more Linux/Wifi testing and thought I would ask again if anyone is interested in participating. I have a pair of push-up masts that can go to 16 and 29 feet. One of the tests will be to a Soekris box that I am loading *ix on.

[nycwireless] Re: [ptp-general] Updated HostAP rpms
Quick update. When I built the first set of these they didn't have support for Downloading to volatile memory. I have since corrected this and made the new packages available.

Re: [nycwireless] Handling the March Against War
What about video over tcp? Usually when the police start attacking peaceful protesters the confiscate all the video tape. If the video were sent offsite they couldn't do that. I don't think this protest will have any bad nastyness it's too big not to have corporate media coverage. -- Daniel Children today are tyrants.

[nycwireless] Re: Handling the March Against War
Ruben, The jews there have a lot at stake in this stuff... this war against iraq might finally mean freeing the jews from Arab oppression . Although I, of course, am all for free speech, the NYCWireless list is hardly an appropriate place for voicing your opinions regarding war, especially when they are offensive and inflammatory. I know better than to take your comments seriously, but others might be offended. I guess the Palestinians oppress the Jews by sticking houses in the way of their bulldozers? Will there be Uplinks from the Israeli capital, Jerusalem, and Chevron? I could be wrong, but I don't think NYCWireless has free access points in Jerusalem or Chevron. Anyone? The point of the discussions on this list about the anti-war protests is making use of free wireless to help expand the exposure of all reporting entities to make small media just as accessible as larger media. That's part of the power of the Internet. I'll be hosting some of the video and media files from this weekend's events, but it's not because I agree completely with the protesters' beliefs; it's because I feel strongly about the idea that everyone should be heard. Let's stick to the topic; I've seen other nice mailing lists devolve into useless prattle because of political discussions. nyc-geeks is a perfect example.

Re: [nycwireless] Good book -- Wireless Maximum Security
Jon, I have a favorite - mine! (Deploying License-Free Wireless WANs) published by Cisco Press and available from me or from Amazon and others. It ships the first week in March. BTW, it's completely vendor-neutral. http://www.ask-wi.com/book.html It's the first book devoted to successful license-free wireless ISP deployment. Chapter 2 explains all about RF. jack Jon Baer wrote: I havent finished it yet to write a review but it's the most in depth thing Ive read yet ...

Re: [nycwireless] Handling the March Against War
I like that idea. I know a coworker with a camera hooked up to a laptop hooked up to a wireless card. From an app standpoint, here are a couple opportunities. These assume you ccan cover the whole demonstration area. * Create a simple sign-in page. If there was some mechanism to verify the submission is from a real person (not a bot), people could start gathering real attendance numbers. * Set up an event blog. People on the scene and people viewing the scene can post. * Add in some chat. It'd be cool if you could pinpoint yourself on a map to show people where you are. ...
