Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG 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 -- "Linux...
