Rafael,<br>
I would start with the stock installation, from USB key or CD<br>
on any old PC with a couple of network interfaces.<br>
Build 160 is surprisingly easy to get up and working...<br>
In schools which have more than 120 or so students, we are<br>
recommending traditional 802.11b/g access points,<br>
bridging wireless channels 1, 6, and 11 onto a wired LAN<br>
connected to a school server.<br>
The active antenna are more suitable for less dense deployments,<br>
where there are less laptops per channel. We are setting up tests<br>
to allow us to qualify and improve these numbers.<br>
