This Monday, at 18:30, Haifa Linux CLub will once again gather to hear
Ohad Lutzky talk about
WiFi (802.11) in GNU/Linux
Abstract:
- An introduction to how WiFi is used in GNU/Linux (distro-independant,
but with linux-wireless-utils, so not relevant BSD or Mac) - tools like
iwconfig, iwlist, along with some information about the availability of
wireless NIC modules - especially the ipw2200, which is included in
all/most new Centrino laptops
- User-friendliness in these utilities - a summary of the problems with
using the commandline for this (tedious and daunting for new users, not
automated), a survey of current available solutions (UIs like netapplet,
wifi_radar and my own netdlg, along with automated solutions such as
hotplug, ifplugd, waproamd), pros and cons to each and what basically
needs to be done to improve them.
Slides will hopefully be available in time for the lecture, or the
lecturer will find himself doing a live demo :)
We meet in Taub building, room 3. For instructions see:
