[mesh-talk] Ham stuffs

So far I have 4 of the Linksys routers running HSMM. Two are running PersonalTelco which don't seem to speak ethernet. I am looking for my JTAG cables and will try that. Does anyone have a cable know to work with Linksys? Is there any other ways to unbrick - over the air? Five AP's are WRAP54Gs and don't run HSMM. Should I just e-waste the WRAP54Gs or return them to sudoroom? There is an April 10 meeting of the East Bay Amateur Radio Club in El Sobrante with a speaker on ham mesh nets. I plan on attending and can drive others. I will tailgate the routers. There is varying degrees of interest in the ham community in microwave ham nets. Cal's radio club has a mesh running HSMM and I believe the NALCO (North Alemeda County Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Services) has one. Some of the EBARC members are interested in getting something going. I'm not sure about the interest level among the Oakland club (ORCA) though I'm sure there are at least a few members that would mount their own nodes, possibly on masts. They also have a repeater with power, etc. on Grizzly Peak. I'm a ORCA and EBARC member and could invite someone to speak about sudomesh at a future meeting if interested. You might get some good help with development, testing and deployment, especially if you get into towers. This is a little long winded but I thought that there are some useful insights on broadband networking from neighbors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXWqVaWRQpw Sorry for the long post. Martin
