[Ham-Mac] WiFi

[Gerry Curry]

I have been subscribing to this list since the beginning and it seems that
almost all the topics revolve around typical Ham/computer projects. But
there is a whole new wave of development going on that is right up a Ham's
alley but seems to be attracting little attention from Hams.

IEEE 802.11 wireless networking is growing at an exponential rate. Gone are
the days where people are just trying to do wireless in their office or
classroom. Today whole cities are being linked via outside Access Points and
directional antennas. And yet almost all the development work is being done
by ingenious computer geeks with little or no knowledge of RF or antenna
design.

It's time Hams got involved. What a perfect union of the two hobbies.

We're talking 11 MIPS at 2.5GHz with full roaming capability. This stuff
makes packet radio look like two tin cans and some string.

Any other Hams doing this stuff?
