Hi! I'm Adrian. I'm a wifi hacker. I worked at Qualcomm Atheros for 18 months on various open and closed source wifi things. I'm also the FreeBSD wireless developer. My main focus is FreeBSD but I know a bunch of stuff about openwrt and the Linux wireless stack and Atheros drivers. Right now I'm working on FreeBSD support for the latest Atheros chips and SoCs (the AR933x and AR934x stuff), as well as finishing off the 11n support for TDMA and 802.11s mesh.

Hello mesh!

by Marc Juul

We have the first two nodes mounted, running and connected! On the mesh map they are "Hearth" and "Adeline Livelabs": http://meshmap.sudoroom.org/ As you can see, the houses are almost exactly one block from each other on opposite sides of the street. Each house has a Ubiquiti Bullet 2 HP with a large omnidirectional antenna mounted on the roof. Unfortunately the only easy mounting point on the livelabs roof was not near the front of the house, resulting in the signal being blocked by two … [View More]

I think Tyger, but whether because of my name or the Blake poem I'm not sure! I must confess that, although cats have more flash, there is something eminently pragmatic about prehensile.

"xenomorphic tail grafting," eh? Let me guess: "Xeno" is "foreign" or "other" and "morphic" means it pertains to "forms" (in approximately the Platonic sense), so is "xenomorphic tail grafting" what you get when, say, you graft a dog's tail onto a monkey?
