I have this "friend" whos in a bind. This town we're in really blows for
connectivity. It's either long haul dedicated connectivity from a town 30
miles away, or use crappy cable modem services which really blows.
So I got to thinking about the wavelan stuff in freebsd and looking
around. The distance between the offices of this "friend" are almost 5
miles. Am I correct in assuming you need the following items to make this
work:
2 x wavelan isa cards in 2 freebsd boxen. one at each end.
2 x wavepoint II MAC bridges for the servers to connect to the hub on each
end.
and 2 x outdoor antenna's to extend the range to 5 miles using the 915Mhz
model?
Any other software, hardware?
You just configure the WL cards on the server with wlconfig to set its
parameters, and then configure it as a normal NIC card?
Thanks for the info...
Chris
