Wireless Networking for Liberty
« on: September 18, 2006, 02:27:04 AM »

I just found an interesting Win32 program that might be of use for the liberty movement:

http://www.2hotspot.com/

Synopsis: This software allegedly makes it very easy to create a network of wireless access points to share data over a widely spread network. It is in beta, and I have UNIX so I can't really try this (without it being a pain). I'm sure there's Linux/BSD software that's similar but whatever. Long story short, people should try this out and see how well it works.

There are plenty of Linux solutions available.

Consider OpenWRT which lets you turn that off-the-shelf access point into a fully functional Linux box and customize its operation.

Consider also HostAP which lets you turn many popular wireless cards into access points. You can also do this with MadWifi.

See also the Personal Telco Project.

Cool I like that. Someone should start up their own VoIP service for activism purposes. I wanted to do this several months ago, but I don't have the hardware to make it compatible with landlines.
