We are going to create a mesh network of about half a dozen access
points on 15th April at HBCSE campus with the help of Fred Pook, a
Netherlands based hacker/enterpruener who works in the suburbs in
Goa. If any of you are intersted to join in this hands-on workshop
please come to HBCSE on 15th about 10am. It is a day long workshop.
We expect to finish making the mesh by evening. It is very likely
that Fred Pook will also join us on the 16th meeting at the same venue.

Dear Nagarjun,
I'm not sure if i can make it on that day, but if i can, i will
definitely try to do it.
If i can make it, i wanted to know if we could try something different
at the same time.
I have seen some interesting projects out there, which should allow
certain WIFI cards
to be configured in linux to act as access points. Maybe, if we could
get our hands on a laptop and
one of these cards(Or even one with an inbuilt ipw2200, i think it may
be supported), can we try
adding a linux based Soft-AP to the mesh. It will be an interesting
exercise, And also may bring
up the possibility of some day building a truly *mobile* mesh, who
knows.... ;)
Am i the only one who dreams of a *Hell's Angles(tm)* style OSS bike
convoy, with every 15th bike
acting as a AP, and every pillion rider surfing the net... just the
imaginations of a demented mind...
What do you guys think?
Also, for some reason, my posts appear to be getting rejected from the
list. Maybee my address is embargoesd....
regards
Rajeev
