[WISPA] Smartbridges Client Software

2009-08-09 Thread Jeremy Parr
We recently inherited a large number of Atmel based 802.11b CPEs from
a local wireless manufacturer that went belly up. (Remember all the
buzz about Pegasus Wireless and Jasper Knabb.) The software is
very outdated, and I'm wondering if they could be flashed and managed
with the Smartbridges tool, which is slightly better. It seems to be
gone from the site, does anyone have a link?

I may be able to find that software for you. It was version dependent, 
the management tool offered to update the client to the latest version 
that it had embedded. I never tried to say no.

My experience with SmartBridges was the Atmel chip would degrade very 
quickly and xmit power would drop off to intermittent connectivity.
90% failure rate here. I don't think it was a software problem.
That was my indication to quit using cheap hardware. If the customer can 
not afford the setup to cover the equipment cost... just say No.
