| Just another white bearded computer fossil... | [yeti] (aka [drawkula] on freenode) is mostly harmless... |
| | |
| I started coding in the mid-70's hacking my ideas into programmable calculators (SR-52, SR-56) and a SC/MP based microprocessor system, got addicted and never stopped since then. Just the hardware is different today. | |
| | |
| After developing from microprocessor system to networks and internet, I got bored by all those gigahertzs and terabytes and more and more my way leads me back to smaller systems like microcontrollers and embedded systems. | |
| | |
| That's all about me. | |
| | |
| At least for now. | |

| - Find some dirt cheap hardware helping to get neighbours connected. E.g. a USB dongle sized system bridging/routing the mesh by USB networking or USB serial PPP to a user's PC. | * Find some dirt cheap hardware helping to get neighbours connected.

| | ==== Status ==== |
| | * Installed ''wpad-mini'' plus ''authsae'' on Fujitsu Siemens Futro S200 family thin clients and F2FS extrooted TL-WR703Ns and they communicate. |
| | * They need the right password to join the mesh, so it looks like AuthSAE works. |
| | * [[https://forum.lede-project.org/t/starting-with-mesh-networks/5692/46?u=yeti|Others in the thread mentioned above report success using `wpad-mesh` only.]] So far I had no luck reproducing this in my test setups. |
| |
| See: | ==== TODO ==== |
| * https://forum.lede-project.org/t/starting-with-mesh-networks/5692 | * Find a working ''wpad-mesh'' to drop ''authsae''. |
| | * Is there meshy infrastructure somewhere?\\ Distributed DNS, DHCP? |
| | * DNS —▶ https://forum.lede-project.org/t/kadnode-a-decentralized-dns-system/11523 |
| | * Is there a way to scan for mesh IDs (SSIDs)? |
| | * Which other OSes support... |
| | * ..."open" 802.11s meshs? |
| | * ..."closed" 802.11s meshs? |
