[MLB-WIRELESS] ssid naming conventions

[Jason Clarke]

Rik,

Two things, I've been running a WiFi setup longer than MW has been dishing
out IP's. I haven't bothered changing it yet.

My external and internal wireless network will probably be the one and the
same for a while yet. The laptop probably wont have any need whatso ever to
get out onto MW.

I've been given a 10.10.144.112/28 range for MW, which I'll swap to when the
time arises :-) (Hopefully within the month).

Actually, the IP ranges wont matter hugely for me.

10.69.11.x  - Wired LAN
192.168.4.100-255 - Wireless LAN Range

The wireless LAN range would be pretty easy to change (including firewalls
etc).

The only problem I can foresee is when MW gets large and my internal range
ends up being used somewhere in MW where I can connect to, but that is a way
down the track.

All

Yeah I can understand that having a convention as such would interrupt
interneal network naming, but mw ip address' would be doing the same for
your internal network addressing.

Anyhow just a thought to get it more streamlined. No one has to participate,
just for identifying issues that was all.

I know this sounds petty, but having that naming convention would break from
my internal network naming (Poohbear names :-)

Most people are already using foo.wireless.org.au that I've noticed. With an
anything goes for foo policy.. I believe this is a defacto standard already.

Melbourne Wireless.

I have had a thought and might be a decent one.

In regards to locfinder and ap's ssids, I believe it might be a good idea to
have some sort of naming conventions in regards to them. Makes it a bit
easier when stumbling for MW nodes, and would look a bit neater.

Something like  : nodeXXX.wireless.org.au or nodeXXX.melbwireless.org.au
where XXX is your short node name, i.e mine is FSO J

Like to here some thoughts regarding it.

Cheers
