Community Networking Made Easy

Posted by timothy on from the but-this-one-goes-to-11-km dept.

Rob Flickenger writes "I for one am sick and tired of all of the work it takes to build out wireless community networks. Evidently, so was the Linksys Community Network: a Real Network project for the masses. It's about time somebody did something to bring Wi-Fi to the People."

    April Fools jokes are only really funny when posted on April Fools Day. At least here, that day has been over for about half an hour.

      And not a moment too soon. Although that Evil Bit article was interesting, and so was the Evil Bit article.

    It's not that funny but people are always leaving the defaults (linksys, tsunami, etc)

    Kids please remember to read the WLAN Security FAQ before playing.

    Slashdot editors over-do April Fools Jokes in grand fashion! CmdrTaco, site founder, uses this faux holiday to make light of his tendancy to duplicate news submissions with a long running and thoroughly unfunny repeat posting of an "evil bit in IPv4" story! General Tommy Franks will speculate upon this development.....

    Oh wait! Geraldo Rivera has just reported from the front lines that Slashdot editors have indeed made one last unfunny April Fool's post well after the April 1rst UN sanctioned deadline! The violation in question appears to be an equally unfunny LinkSys-does-something-post! Amazing! We have satellite imagery incoming......

    Here it is, April 1, and I have 5 moderator points to use or lose. What a waste. All dressed up and nowhere to go.

    It would be nice if there was a way to intelligently bond multiple wireless connections into one.

    Simple.

    Put 2 (or 3) wireless cards in each of 2 boxes. Configure corresponding cards on each machine to be on nonoverlapping channels and as appropriate for connectivity. Configure channel bonding for your OS.
