Hi!
I remember you had some discussion about how to flash routers. I think
there are several options:
- having a generic firmware you configure by hand/webinterface
- having a image generator which generates image with all configuration
included for a particular node
- having an generic autoconfiguring firmware, which
- does everything by itself
- optionally fetches additional/configuration data from the
network/central server
- registers at first boot with networks/central server
Am I …
[View More]missing any?
Some possible relevant links for flashing and ideas:
- https://github.com/battlemesh/openwrt-config-system
- https://dev.wlan-si.net/ticket/1135
- https://dev.wlan-si.net/ticket/654
- https://dev.wlan-si.net/ticket/1153
Some ideas we were playing around as well:
- a phone app which you install, connect to the existing original
wireless network of the node you want to flash, press a button and it
flashes
- entering your public IP of your home router you want to flash and some
server flashes the node for you over the Internet

My friend Pete Eyre from Cop Block was in town last week as a part of a
Police Accountability Tour and met up with us at the MeshNets 101 meetup
to learn more about the technology. In hearing about the Sudomesh
project, he decided to check out the meeting last Thursday and also the
Cryptoparty this Sunday.
He wrote this blog post:
http://www.copblock.org/39047/meshnets-transparency/
And we're going to be working together on Pt. 2 which highlights the
more tech stuff for those that are …
[View More]interested.
Let me know if there's anything specific about community mesh networks
or specifics from the process that Sudomesh is going through to include.
Obviously I'm more familliar with mobile mesh tech that Open Garden
made, but I've got a good handle on the home router mesh tech too - but
any input is greatly appreciated!
Pete and Cop Block both have pretty big followings (at least nationally)
so hopefully this gets the word out a bit more about this technology.
Peace!!

Hey all,
I'm at Laney College right now. They have an open wireless network! Perhaps
they will be interested in joining peoplesopen.net. Unsure if we have a
list already, but I set one up here:
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/Potential_locations
Going to do some hacking on the wiki for navigational purposes. If other
people have ideas for things that should be on the wiki, please start them!

Hi mesh team!
We are just about ready to start deploying the first 20 nodes! \o/
This will be an experimental deployment to test the firmware, so best if
the owners of these nodes are fairly savvy so as to troubleshoot :)
If you want to be part of the beta network, it would be excellent if you
could analyze the spectrum availability around you to see what's free and
what's busy. Some tools for doing so are listed here:

Ubiquiti just announced their Nanobeam M series.
They have four models:
16 dBi and 19 dBi models that appear to have panel antennas, similar to
Nanostation M.
22 dBi and 25 dBi models with parabolic antennas that may be replacements
for the Nanobridge M series.
They all have:
* 64 MB ram.
* 8 MB flash.
* Atheros MIPS 74KC, 560 MHz CPU
* 6 watt or 8 watt power consumption depending on model
The all have a new wall/roof/pole-mountable swiveling ball socket design
that allows mounting at …
[View More]any angle. It also has improved weatherproofing.

They also announced AirFiber 5 Ghz, which is a non-standard-compliant 1
Gbps, full duplex, 100 km, 50 Mhz point to point system. The interesting
thing about this system is the price: $1000 per unit.
They also announced that they're putting tunable active RF filters of their
own design in front of the Atheros chips on next year's products, which
makes them much better at ignoring interference. They are already shipping
this in their UniFi AP Outdoor+, but that product is 2.4 ghz only.
