    Hi,
    I've recently brought my dubwan (http://dublin.irishwan.org) node up in donnybrook (eglinton rd). Wondering if anyone is nearby and is planning on getting a node up/ wants to link up. I'll be getting adsl in the future when esat reach donnybrook (december apparently) and would be interested in sharing the cost with a few others.

    Running kismet I've found an aironet AP in infrastructure mode nearby, anyone want to claim this?

    how tall is your house? What's the range on all this? The website mentioned 10+ Km....

    I'm pretty interested in what LEAP broadband have to offer... would it be same hardware as for WAN?

    not sure if leap use 802.11b. I'd guess they've licensed part of another spectrum (pure guess).
    The range for 802.11b is up to 10km with the power levels we're allowed, but it requires perfect line of sight. If you can see my omni from your roof you can connect at long range, if you cant, then you may be able to connect if you're near enough.

    that's what I thought about the line of sight - hence my how big is your house question. I'd guess there's 0% chance of dunlaoghaire -> donnybrook LOS :)

    ps- come drinking on sat

    yeah no chance of donnybrook to dun laoghaire. But theres other ppl out that way interested in dubWan There's even some active nodes bracketing dunlaoghaire, see http://dublin.irishwan.org/showmap.php . One of them even has adsl installed and the guy might well be interested in sharing it with others. I think it's the malcolm i know from dubWan, drop him an email, he's sound, you might be lucky.
    I've no-one really near me yet, tho there is a node due up very soon just down the road.

    ahh but as I said
    up to 10km with the power levels we're allowed

    You're only legally allowed have 20 dBi output, that was obviously using way over the legal limit.
