Hey Everybody,
I'm glad to announce that our founder Andy Stewart will be doing a talk on wireless mesh networking! I expect this talk will be both entertaining and interesting.
Afterwards we'll be retiring to Tech for pizza!

Later, Tim.
HI WLUG, Thanks, Tim, for sending that notice to the WLUG membership. Specifically, I will be discussing Broadband-Hamnet (trademark), which is a mesh network designed by amateur radio operators, but can be used by mere mortals :-) as well. One can reflash many versions of the the Linksys WRT54G with this software and create your own mesh network, as has been done in Austin, TX and I believe Seattle, WA. Also, the Ubiquiti hardware can be used. I will have slides and a few Linksys boxes to demonstrate the concept. Feel free to bring your laptop to connect to the demo network. One can connect via an ethernet cable (bring your own) or wirelessly. For more information: http://www.broadband-hamnet.org I look forward to seeing you at the meeting, and joining you afterwards for pizza.
