How many are going?
4 or 5. I'm loosing count.
Having more problems with Yobbo's end of things than anything else for a
while, so gave up with the idea of using yobbo for much and went back to
focusing on the concept of local data nodes. Simon Knight and I have
been bouncing emails back and forth, we don't think the inter AP routing
is correct.
Got a number of systems built ready for deployment.
Have done a number of field tests to see what we can do and what our
limits are. SK lent me an amp last week that proved some help.
Discovered that I didn't fully understand how Neil configured the DHCP
and IPTables, so am currently trying to learn more about that (LARTC is
a hell useful list). Not easy when Neils stuff is really tight but he's
off on holiday.
Discovered that DSE have stopped supplying the RA2570 nics, so got the
last 3 to tie me over until I get the new ones from CDL running.
Got 1 of the new nics from CDL for testing - which came with a debian ko
file already, thou I don't know what kernel it's built for yet because I
haven't had a chance to install it.
Built 4 more poll antennas to start pilot testing with people around any
one of the first 3 live node sites that I have now secured.
Installed one system, but still sorting out the firewall to nat correctly.
Installed antenna on a second site ready for the node installation but
family matters have meant that I had to tie ho.
I've been bouncing emails back and forth with the dnsmasq writter to see
if there's a way to unblock/block mac access based on a bunch of
paramters stored in a database when the ip address is assigned...
I've been researching how to use IP tables to nat/masq based on same
params. I can do it using the wizards and gui stuff, but I need to be
able to understand the tables properly.
However this is all really off topic, so I'm not sure why you're asking
as it's not really nix related other than all the issues with the
software platform.
Cheers Don
