[MLB-WIRELESS] Mast mounted wish list

[tparker at netspace.net.au]

Hi Ben,

Nice to see such serious techs on the list.  I think I'm going to agree with the
others about build your own cost etc.  The risk of getting something wrong and
wasting the whole run would be too much for me.

This is not a dlink created unit, it is an OEM unit.  It works just as well with
at least the Linksys WAP firmware/snmp software.  I guess if you signed the NDA
with atmel you could get the cpu details, but perhaps the chipset isn't even
capable of IBSS?

The soekris seems to be a popular choice, perhaps the momentum will build for a
TIB buy.

Cheers,
