[Mesh] Introduction

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. I came along to the mesh meetup because being a developer of this stuff in a vacuum is a bit silly. I've been looking for local groups who are interested in wifi and want to do strange things with it. This group seems to be that way inclined. :-) I'm also looking for victims^Whelpers to test out the long-distance side of this TDMA support in FreeBSD. It's supposed to work up to dozens of miles, but I just don't have access to places to mount equipment to test. I'm hoping that I can find some people here who are willing to help me with this. I can provide the wireless hardware; all I need here is an internet hookup and places to mount stuff. I'm happy to help out any way I can. If you're all interested, I can do some talks on how this stuff works and how long distance links work/don't work. Thanks! -adrian
