[OLPC Networking] Wireless Mesh tests

[Tadeu F. Oliveira]

Hello
everybody,

I and a
group of volunteers are creating an wireless network to interconnect the schools
in our city, we are at this moment in a testing period trying to figure out witch
technology to use (Wi-Fi, Wi-Max, Motorola canopy…) but one important
goal of this project is to be compatible with the OLPC laptops.


 


In the
laptop.org Wiki I have founded this http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Wireless
saying: “There is new firmware with mesh routing support” and that the chip Marvell
88W8388 is compatible with the 802.11b/g great! But my question is: The mesh
feature needs some different equipment to support it? I mean in the radio-base section
is it necessary to have some different thing than a 802.11b/g radio?


 


When will
the Laptops be available to test the wireless network features? I really would like
to make some tests with it in my area. I do not intend to keep it with me for
too much time, I just need to test it so I would put 2 or three of it working
and after the tests would deliver it back to anyone who needs to test it too.

Sorry for
my poor English


Thank you
all
