[MLB-WIRELESS] Node under construction...

[Alan]

Rick and Daryl,
Can you include me in the discussions also. I am trying to get a linux 
box up and running with RH7.0 also and would like to know how you get on.

I am also looking for a low price hi gain antenna, mind you, I am eyeing 
off a galaxy antenna that is still sitting on someones roof nearby.

Is a linux box necessary for routing between an access point and say a 
minitar operating in infrastructure mode connecting to another site?


Cheers
Alan
