[manchesterwireless] SoftAP notes and general 802.11 ramblings

[Rob Kyle]

nice one Harry!

It's a good intro to the issues involved with HostAP.

I can't comment much on the article, because I haven't had much of a chance to 
get my hands dirty with WDS and hostAP, but it's certainly good content for 
the site.

As for where to upload it.....

I don't currently have the resources to host a Manchester Wireless Wiki, if 
anyone else can, I'd be very grateful.  A Wiki would be useful for docs like 
this, although I wouldn't want to use it for the main site as they tend to be 
underused, and by default look a bit disorganised.

However, as a space for publishing collaborative docs like this, it would be 
quite handy.  There are a few Manchester Wireless pages on the Consume Wiki, 
you might use these if you want to publish this stuff ASAP.  Maybe a brief 
post on the blog + a link to the full article in the Consume Wiki?

After Richard's post re: SOWN's Walkthrough , I took another look at their 
documentation and found it very useful indeed.

HostAP + WDS: http://www.sown.org.uk/index.php/HostAPWalkthru
Linking nodes:  http://www.sown.org.uk/index.php/Linking
Routing:  http://www.sown.org.uk/index.php/Routing

I've played with some of these tools under Pebble linux.  At some point we 
should do a field test with more than 3 Pebble nodes.
