802.11 for Vehicles?

Posted by Cliff on from the hope-you've-got-a-good-car-alarm dept.

mantid asks: "I am about to do a long trip (1 year) in a VW Vanagon, and would like to set up wireless net access from within the vehicle. What is the most effective system for hassle-free, permanent, long-term installation? Note, this is not just for wardriving, many truckstops, netcafes, and coffee shops are now offering legit net access. I just don't want to have to bring laptop inside to do it. Please suggest tried and true antenna types as well as tips/concerns/issues."

    Which is all very nice and well.. but it is not what he wants, and doesn't answer his question.

    One shouldn't project ones own values onto everyone else.

    Why not bike?
    -- Smell the smells, hear the sounds.

    Why not fly?
    -- Quicker way to get there

    Why are these answers wrong? Because he didn't ask the question....

    He said "I am about to do a long trip (1 year) in a VW Vanagon", he didn't say I'm driving around the US drawing big sketches of the people I meet and things I see what are some tablet PC's or good drawing tablets for my PC.

    What is he's a traveling salesmen that needs to keep up w/ his email, or log his sales, create invoices, surf the web to keep up w/ news etc.

    It's usually good when someone asks a question to answer it...
