Hi -
why in hell do you want to use WIMAX? People are networking large areas
all over the world (particularly developing countries) with WiFi +
Batman or OLSR.
Of course *if* WiMAX becomes:
* Cheap
* License-free
* Supports Ad-Hoc networking
(which it isn't, nothing of this tiny list can be affirmed)
we can use BATMAN with it and maybe have a bit more fun than we already
have with WiFi...
I'd rather ask the good fairy in my dreams for more WiFi drivers that
actually support ad-hoc mode. Particularly USB. Ralink rt73 would be one
of my favorites... Maybe the good fairy is already subscribed to this
mailing list?
Dream on Elektra, dream on...

Hi well that sounds great.
then we only need to research the additional IEEE and we need a
hardware manufacturer, who is offering small FON like Routers, whith
the batman protocol. So two users can connect to the internet over the
air, while only one has DSL.
To make it safe, encryption is important.
Like this two one over power:
http://www.devolo.com/co_EN_cs/produkte/dlan/dlanaudioextsk.html
Isnt there a manufacturer, who can offer that with BATMAN inside?`
That would be perfect, that I buy these two USB sticks, one in the
laptop on a router with DSL, and the other on any machine in the air
and this one can surf as well. maybe it is as well a stratey, to use
BATMAN first from point to point (encrypted), and then to add the
modus, that ANY Stick can be joined for DSL in the neighbourhood.
For meshing there will be no hardware manufacturer, but for point to
point like Devolo, this would be fine.
The Software should be build in the stick like in the huawei USB
modem, which simulates a CD rom.
maybe we can start such a manufacturer contact??

Hi -
you'd be surprised. I have built WiFi links up to 25 km (480
KByte/sec TCP throughput with 802.11b). Which is not rocket
science and actually relatively short, compared to the WiFi world
record of 380 km...
Even with the default antennas, a popular Wifi router has a range
of approx 2 km at 1 Megabit, given a clear fresnel zone.
What you are referring to is the fact, that those WIMAX modems
don't support multipoint-to-multipoint networking. Actually there
is an idea to have this mode in WIMAX (don't know the IEEE draft
number, though), but it surely is not implemented...
