Do we know what the topic of the talk will be?
We do.
Quoting from an earlier email to the list on this topic:
Last year, Nick wrote quite passionately about local Christchurch
companies using linux and wondering if any had any stories to tell in a
meeting..
I replied, and noted that a wireless rate control module I had written
has been added to the mainline kernel.
Now, if you peruse your way to:
http://blogs.computerworld.com/node/12825/print
where you can read about the five best features in 2.6.28, you will find
the comment:
"Frankly, based on what I've been seeing while using it with my
Linux-powered ThinkPad R61, I'd upgrade to 2.6.28 for this feature
alone."
The wireless rate control module I helped write is called "Minstrel".
I will describe what wireless rate control modules are, why you need them
and how the one I wrote works.
Further. There will be examples of it operating at the meeting.
Someone will need to bring a projector. I have not yet done the
slides/presentation, but anyhow......
Derek.
