Lookout, the list is cranking

[Robert Hart - Air-Stream Wireless]

I'm not really the person who does the coding side of things, but we do 
have two very clever guys who have been working on the Atheros AR5008 
chipset drivers as these are what we started with, they are saying there 
not far away thou.  The Intel 4965AGN chipset  looks very interesting 
that Benjamin has suggested, specially as they are much cheaper cards ~ 
$65au.

I'm mostly a network user, than any kind of developer/coder, and I'm sad 
to admit a latecomer to FOSS systems and this has happened mainly due to 
my association with Air-Stream.

Most I'm happest with a soldering iron in my hand, I have an electronic 
engineering background and I did run an electronic business in NSW for 
10 years, but know its a hobby, as I'm in Management these days. So the 
Air-Stream project is one of my outlets, and so I help build customizing 
stuff eg PCB, waterproof systems, cases, PSUs, antennas, masts, etc.  
But its good to have people with different skills, specially when 
building a community wireless network.

If your in Adelaide we are participating in Software Freedom Day at 
Mawson Lakes http://www.air-stream.org.au/sfd2007 and will have some 
802.11n equipment running on the day and certainly some wireless 
equipment running FreeBSD and OpenWRT.
