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!

As long as we are doing introductions, I'm Steve Berl. I'm kind of new to
wireless and mesh stuff, but I do have a lot of IP network experience,
having worked at Cisco for 16 years. I sort of specialized there in ways to
make deployment, configuration, and management easy and cheap.
I'm also getting into the RF side of things, doing a bit of amateur radio
astronomy with RTL-SDR, and turns out I really like building antennas of
various kinds, so if we want to whip up some high gain yagis or cantennas,
I'm up for it.
I also live in Piedmont partway up the hill, and from my roof I have have
line of site to all of Lake Merritt and a chunk of downtown Oakland,
Emeryville, and into Berkeley. The roof has easy access, and it is easy to
drop cables down from there into my basement/machineroom, so for testing
those long point to point links...

Hey all!
Just wanted to piggyback on this to introduce myself.
I'm Thomas. I live in SF. My work isn't on the technical side - I've been
working as a management consultant for the past three years and in the Fall
I'll be heading down to Stanford to work on a PhD in organizational
behavior. Outside of work I've been volunteering on the board of a local
non-profit where I've learned a lot about fundraising methods for small
organizations. I think this is an awesome project and I'm excited to help
out in any way I can - either through sharing business/non-profit
experiences, helping to set up a node (anyone in PA? looks pretty far from
the current center of mass), fundraising, mundane tasks, basically anything
that's useful.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to make it to a meet up yet - I'm going
to do my best to make that happen soon but unfortunately the next few weeks
look pretty busy for me.
Nice to meet you!
Thomas

Hi Thomas! Sounds like we could definitely use your expertise. You should
add yourself to the mesh map! Maybe others are holding off because they are
also far from the current center of mass. We want to cover the entire east
bay eventually, and although we'll be focusing the crowdfunded hardware on
specific areas in the beginning, it would be awesome to have more nodes in
the wider east bay, even if it's just an indoor access point.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to make it to a
meet up yet - I'm going
to do my best to make that happen soon but unfortunately the next few weeks
look pretty busy for me.
Hopefully we'll have a video stream soon for people to participate without
physical presence!

Since everyone is introducing themselves:
Hi, I'm Marc Juul. I'm excited about decentralized and heterarchical
structures, both in the form of networks and in systems for organization. I
co-founded two hackerspaces (sudo room and labitat) and two biohacking
groups (biologigaragen and counter culture labs). I have skills in the
fields of network programming, web programming, digital electronics and
synthetic biology (not yet sure how that last one will be relevant to the
mesh but I'm sure we'll find a way!). I'm very interested in crypto, and
its application in mesh networks.
I've been wanting to learn about radio, both the details of wifi and the
fundamentals of radio transmitters and receivers, for several years and I'm
delighted to have the time to really dig into this field.
I want to take this chance to announce that we also have a small sub-group
within the mesh group that is playing with software defined radios and
designing and building our own radios for digital communications. If you're
interested in hanging out and poking at that kind of stuff then speak up!
Personally, I'd like to see us not just build a successful wifi mesh that
is run for and by the local community, but also begin improving on the
state of the art of mesh software and hardware.

Hi everyone! I'm Alcides also known as Vapor One or "voe." I'm a
graffiti
artist slash rhyme spitter turned grocery clerk turned activist. My
interest in mesh began late last year as a way to create self-maintained
networks that don't rely on Internet.
My current activities include designing low-bandwidth browser/protocol
spec, marketing the mesh network concept, creating copyleft art, and
attempting to set up services such as media streams to run on mesh. I hang
out on IRC (EFnet, Freenode, HypeIRC) as 'voe.'
Also currently setting up beaglebone blacks as nodes on Hyperboria with
hopes to create a local mesh in my neighborhood (Excelsior). I love all
protocols and I love all mesh efforts and communities!
Also interested in learning more about radio comms. I'm not much on the
technical side, but I tend to learn quickly when pointed to the right
keywords and/or examples.
I'm happy to meet everyone and happy to support anything mesh!

Hey all!
Just wanted to piggyback on this to introduce myself.
I'm Thomas. I live in SF. My work isn't on the technical side - I've been
working as a management consultant for the past three years and in the Fall
I'll be heading down to Stanford to work on a PhD in organizational
behavior. Outside of work I've been volunteering on the board of a local
non-profit where I've learned a lot about fundraising methods for small
organizations. I think this is an awesome project and I'm excited to help
out in any way I can - either through sharing business/non-profit
experiences, helping to set up a node (anyone in PA? looks pretty far from
the current center of mass), fundraising, mundane tasks, basically anything
that's useful.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to make it to a meet up yet - I'm going
to do my best to make that happen soon but unfortunately the next few weeks
look pretty busy for me.
Nice to meet you!

I'm extremely interested in SDR efforts. You guys doing custom layer 1 protocols? What
frequency bands? What FPGA boards are you using? Do you have access to parallela kit? What
rf frontends have you researched?
About a million other questions, but that's enough to start.
FNF is looking into very low power, custom layer 1/2 SDR for permament on station high
altidude radio platforms. Quadcopter mesh is cute, but we are thinking more along the
lines of an open source project loon. Potentially using microwave beams to power the
airships, if we can't get enough power from solar.

Great to hear from so many interesting folks; we're weaving together a
pretty awesome human tapestry here :)
I'll CC the Free Network Foundation list too for this intro, since I've
just recently joined though I've been a supporter since Occupy.
What fascinates me most about mesh networking is the way in which it
mirrors the heterarchical nature of society itself - or at ideals which we
must strive to attain: cooperation, symbiosis, and the cultivation of the
commons.
My interests lie at the intersection of anthropology, technology,
communication and social justice. With Juul and a bunch of the other folks
on this list, I've been helping to grow Sudo Room
<http://sudoroom.org>since its inception as a third space for
creation, education, and humans to
grow together in collaboration with the surrounding community. The latter
goal has been by far the most profound challenge, in my opinion. As such, I
see my role as one of community outreach, coalition-building, co-education,
research and documentation for purposes of translation, history,
storytelling, and copy-paste-forking.
Outside of this project, which is currently my primary focus, I also work
at Open Garden <http://opengarden.com>, a startup developing a suite of
applications for sharing connectivity amongst Android phones, tablets and
computers. I occasionally give talks and
publish<http://jennyryan.net/resume>in the field of digital
ethnography (or, as I like to call it,
cyberanthropology). Other current projects include developing an outreach
spreadsheet<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ao_Q7DQvNFT-dEd…
organizations in the Downtown Oakland area (and soon East Oakland),
building
bridges <http://ba.chgrp.org> to other hackerspaces around the
world<http://gemsi.org>,
planning caravans and tools for connecting intentional
communities/hackerspaces/autonomous communities generally, and trying to
overcome writer's block through self-care.
Excited to be building something awesome with y'all,

I just build images from FreeBSD-HEAD.
My build scripts are at http://code.google.com/p/freebsd-wif-build .
No, it's not polished like openwrt. It's more aimed at me getting
development done. Mostly the thing keeping me from doing anything
interesting is a lack of jffs/jffs2 style flash filesytem for FreeBSD.

11n support for TDMA and 802.11s mesh.
I recently discovered that not all 802.11g or 802.11n chipsets support more
than 802.11b when used in ad-hoc mode (in linux). How much of this is based
on the chip and how much is based on the drivers lacking support? How would
I go about checking if a specific chip has support for stuff like 802.11n
in ad-hoc mode, and other stuff like TDMA and 802.11s support (for both
linux and freebsd)?

Well, it's likely a bit of both.
You should do a radiotap packet capture of the adhoc mode setup there.
See if the beacon(s) announce the 11g (extended) rates. I remember
seeing some odd stuff there in FreeBSD. The problem is that there's no
association request/response in adhoc mode, so the rate control setup
has to be negotiated by the contents of beacons and probe
request/response frames. :-)
All the atheros chips do 11n in adhoc mode.
All the chips of a certain MAC revision (0x78) or later support the
hacks needed for TDMA.
Hm, all of the AR5212 and later chips do the required hacks for mesh. :-)
