rolling own mesh soln using BSD?

2008-04-21 Thread Rogelio
I'm looking to roll my own mesh solution using BSD and was wondering if
anyone had any pointers on hardware, cards, software packages, etc.
Up to this point, I've either played with the little solutions (e.g. dd-wrt)
or the bigger ones (Cisco, BelAir, etc).

I'm looking to experiment around with something in between -- more robust
than the dd-wrt, but not as expensive as the big player equipment.

Any ideas?

it sounds like your talking about bsd as a firewall, and if so, take a 
look at www.pfsense.org.

actually i think he wants to build his own BSD based wireless mesh AP
network hence the mention of dd-wrt
not sure where the mention of firewall came from, but yes, there is pfSense,
as for wireless search google for

freebsd wireless

should get you a good start but for mesh / repeater i think youll need
the latest VAP code, which a
search of the mailing list should turn up
