Neil and Rik spent some time getting it to work. The wifi chip in Riks
laptop is a prisum.
Correct. "Intersil Corporation Prism 2.5 Wavelan chipset (rev 01)". With
a well-tested script for quickly switching from client to hostAP mode.
CLI-driven. Networking GUI just mucks it up, but there's good monitoring
applets & graphs.
Wireless Access Point is up.
8/15 people still here, 4 clients up, working on connections..
Point of clarification: 1 laptop on LAN as client but wireless hostAP
(mine); two notebook wireless clients off that; and one more laptop was
running on the LAN earlier (Chris / Steve's).
Any questions?
yes I'd like to know how the AP came to be - what is it? Who set it
up? What does it run? Is it permanent?
Fullstory y'know? (particularly in light of the pre-meeting discussion
of the best way to go).
If I'm there with projector, this hostAP will always be ready on call
too. Platform described below, nice & stable..
Cheers,
