Subject: [BAWUG] The Newbie is back
While back I posted that have Senao card but can't see
any SSIDs using included program or Stumbler. Problem
was card won't work with program that comes with it;
you have to DL another ap from Senao site.
Now, it works. I see a number of APs with names and
MACs.
How can I tell if any of them are open to anyone and
which are not and assuming I can 'see' one that is
open, I have no idea how to try and connect. It isn't
like Surf n Sip where you have a URL to use with Opera
or Netscape...
One such AP is thrashr888 which is about games so
seems like would be open.
Maybe I'll have better luck with this question than I
did with the previous one.
Any suggestions?
(No, sorry, I don't have a kite. Thanks anyway)

FYI called Tally (distributor) about the Model 2261 SA they have is
listed at $9,900.
As another option please take a look what Demarc is offering:

Is anyone here using a Linksys WAP11 v2.2 running D-Link AWP900
firmware? I have a WAP11 v2.2 and would like to use it to replace my
Graphite Airport base station. The Airport was running DHCP and NAT.
Can a WAP11 running the D-Link firmware do NAT and DHCP? Is it reliable?

Subject: [BAWUG] FreeNetworks Conference 2003: Call For Papers
From: http://con.freenetworks.org/cfp.phtml
Overview
The FreeNetworks Conference (FN-CON) 2003 is focused on giving the public
an in-depth look into the the fast growing worldwide movement of Community
Wireless Networking (CWN). In the past few years, these decentralized,
non-commercial networks have gained world recognition and populist support
as the adoption of the IEEE Standard for wireless ethernet, 802.11b, more
commonly known as WiFi has gained ground. FN-CON will show you how these
networks started, the directions they are taking, and provide you with
enough technical knowledge to bootstrap your own networking group.
FN-CON aims to gather the experts and implementors in community wireless
networking groups from across the globe, innovators from the wired
community and municipal networks, and the technologists designing the
hardware for future phases of this amazing movement for a conference like
no other.
The conference will combine overviews of the technologies and motivations,
status reports from the frontline, and in-depth coverage of implementation
details that provide the conference attendee with the knowledge to
bootstrap their own CWN in their locale.
The conference will start with one day of in-depth, hands-on
tutorial. Attendees will leave the tutorial with a working piece of
hardware that they can build, configure and replicate for use in their own
community wireless network.
The second and third day will be done in standard fashion with multiple
tracks and multiple speakers on each track.
Purpose
* Bring together both wireless and wired FreeNetworks participants.
* Educate people on the benefits and impact of FreeNetworks.
* Enable people to use available technologies (802.11b and others) and
to prepare for future technologies.
* Showcase the status of FreeNetworks worldwide and learn from the
experience of the early adopters.
* Discuss upcoming social, political and technological developments that
affect the FreeNetworks movement.
Where
Alexis Park Resort - Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
When
June 6-8, 2003
Call For Papers
We are now accepting presentation proposals for FN-CON.
Here are some possible topics that come to mind however we are in no way
limiting it to these, and we expect that you will have some creative ideas
in addition to those listed below:
* New advanced routing protocols that could benefit Free Networks and
ad-hoc networks in general, reports on use of said protocols in a real
world environment.
* Examples of community networks in use serving a real world purpose
that may or may not be possible on traditional carrier-built networks.
* Research and development of networking technologies that can help
further the FreeNetworks movement.
* Applications/tools which might be considered useful for
FreeNetworks.
* Hands on tutorials that will enable people to build their own wireless
router or some other cool and useful wireless device.
What To Send Us
* A brief description (two, three paragraphs max) of your topic.
* Your bio, resume, portfolio or whatever you have that says something
about your experience, why you are qualified to discuss said topic and any
other major achievements you may have accomplished. Please include URLs
wherever possible.
* If you plan on doing something other than a traditional slideshow,
please let us know of any special requirements you may have; i.e. duelling
projectors, laser shows, two turntables and a microphone. We want to know
if you will need anything other than the usual projector and PA setup.
* Contact unformation; at the very least, you must provide us with an
email address that you check on a frequent basis. Physical address and
phone numbers if you desire.
* Submit material in ASCII or PDF format to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Program Committee

Subject: [BAWUG] Decent 802.11b Client Software
Hey everyone:
I'm running Win2000 with an Orinoco gold WiFi card; and I loathe and
detest the client software - no wildcard searching when I'm looking for
a new network, no relative strength meter etc, etc...
Can anyone suggest a piece of client software that
a) is compatible with my client
b) compatible with my home A/P (a Linksys BEFW11S4)
c) compatible with my needs.
Apropos of the earlier part of this note, I was *outside* Peet's on Sac
and Fillmore today and at one stage saw four different A/Ps - "San
Fran", "linksys" (!) were two of them. Does anyone know who they are
&etc...
Cheers,

I am running WAP11 2.2 with the d-link dwl-900+ version 2.5 firmware.
I am using the one as an AP and the other as a repeater.
I think the unit will do DHCP, but I have a Linux box doing that.
As far as NAT goes I don't think it will do that.
My link as been rock solid for about 1.5 weeks since the conversion.
Before I would have to cycle power on the WAP11 (either side) about once
every day or two.

Subject: [BAWUG] Best cards to use with WAP11's
What client cards work best with this AP?
I have noticed that some cards will do encryption just
fine, and some others won't.
Also, when I disable the SSID broadcasting, some cards
cannot find the AP (even though they are already
configured and work), and again - other cards find it
without a problem.
Any ideas?

I think what he is asking here is wether or not he can use his 2.4 GHZ
antenna to boost his signal or scan for them. my first answer is yes.
however integrating the antenna into the x10 antenna will probably be the
tricky part. im not familiar with the recievers but im sure there is
somewhere that you can drill a hole and connect your pigtail. but i dont
know how.
