Boston Linux Meeting Wednesday, February 20, 2008 Rooftop WLAN Redux

["Jerry Feldman-2" <user=4@nabble.blu.org>]

 When: February 20, 2008 7:00PM (6:30 for Q&A) 
Topic: Rooftop WLAN Redux 
Moderator: Kurt Keville, Systems Admin, MIT Clinical Research Center 
Location:  MIT Building E51 Room 335 (Note room change) 

Kurt discusses progress on the Rooftop WLAN project at MIT, and today's 
best practices in wireless Linux. 
Wireless Access Points have become powerful embedded Linux appliances 
in recent years. Much of the functionality of standalone boxes or 
general servers that would reside at a layer above the wireless access 
equipment has now been brought down to the "first mile" point. Access 
to these features have, in turn, inspired programmers to do 
considerable development in packet routing protocols and network 
topology designs. Kurt Keville will give an overview of contemporary 
best practices in wireless Linux with particular emphasis on his 
involvement with the Rooftop WLAN project at MIT. He will put special 
emphasis on advanced routing features and non-RFC compliant 
functionality which has been the primary technology enabler in many 
Municipal Wireless initiatives.
