Village Telco features on this weeks Floss-Weekly

Posted January 5th, 2012 by erflungued

This weeks Floss-Weekly podcast features "Village Telco"
http://twit.tv/show/floss-weekly/196
(Haven't listened to it yet)
Guests are Steve Song and Terry Gillett.
Terry was the person that bought BATMAN-ADV to the Mesh Potato project - extending MP from a voice-only solution - allowing you to do stuff like this:

A cute feature I like about the mesh potato: PC not required - setup can be done from a plain old phone.

Stumble

Guess the trees across the road that sit between my antenna and Skye have grown - my connectivity is not getting better :-(
Site stumbled just now, but only Skye shows up (well Air-Stream AP's that is).

Kismet does not work with my USB wifi dongle, so I used the following bit of bash script:


while true
do
#reset
iwlist wlan1 scanning >> scan_2_nov_2011_1
sleep 1
tail -n 50 scan_2_nov_2011_1
ls -lh scan_2_nov_2011_1
#reset
done

Then

cat scan_2_nov_2011_1 | grep ESSID | awk '{print($1)}' | awk '! a[$0]++'

to pull out unique ESSIDs... which gave

ESSID:"BigPondDA93E3"
ESSID:"BigPond9A29F9"
ESSID:"wireless"
ESSID:"aitel-adeltwr-norwood"
ESSID:"BigPond1C28"
ESSID:"betsuin_home"
ESSID:"WLAN"
ESSID:"IndianSpiceCentre"

NAT (network address translation) between home and Air-stream

Posted July 29th, 2011 by PARKO

I have been wondering for quite some while as to the best method of connecting between two networks running different subnets.
Is it usually a computer with two network cards running a proxy server? Can it be done more simply with say a high power USB wifi card and perhaps a bridge in windows - I've noted you can get a 2W USB card for $30 with postage!
Or Ideally, is it possible to attach one of these new N-type to Ethernet dongles directly into a home network, running on the standard 192.168.2.x (don't know how that would go for security)

thanks a lot,
Harry


New WebCam

Posted February 9th, 2011 by ross

Just setup a friend's R100 as a remote unit for a webcam, figured it would also be a good solution for my wifi box and I also have a UVC webcam and mjpg_streamer compiled fine on my Debian box...

- Enjoy!


WebCam

Night time webcam is now working @ http://10.122.128.66/webcam/webcam.html
Daytime is still whiteout as auto white balance is unsupported for zc0301,gspca - should look at that...

I could put my 3 x sunglasses lenses back on to get daytime img but the nighttime "as is" is rather nice.

Pointed at Semaphore - NewYears' Hanabi!

Router box for Seaview Downs

Posted November 3rd, 2010 by DrFrag

Router box for the Seaview Downs build.


Drilled some holes in the backplate, screwed on the standoffs. Made some custom rubber washers because I forgot to buy washers. I'm not sure they're grippy enough, but simple to replace if needed.


Fitted into the box. Deep box is deep. Need to drill holes in the bottom for cables.


RB800 with two R52Hn cards and space for two more. Can probably fit one more with the planned mast setup.


Router Board Snaps

Just a couple of snaps of my RouterBoard being mounted into its box...

Enjoy!


Ravenits Delfin Island setup

Posted September 12th, 2010 by ravenit

Finally got some time to get my little set up running thanks to Firefox for the hardware, and Pazza for the routing.
Currently connected to Gould Creek but will be looking to change to Seaton once the airstream links get fixed following the great storms we had the other week.
For those interested my setup consists of
1 Mikrotic Routerboard RB433
1 Mikrotik R52h 350mW wifi card
1 U.FL to N female bulkhead
1 24v PSU
1 Parabolic 2.4 Grid antenna 24dbi
1 N-male coax extension
and a PoE injector

Question is how to stop birds sitting on the antenna and pooping all over the place

1 home made J pole made out of water pipe conected to the very top of my 2 story house.
