[RLUG] Second wireless hacking event

[Brandon Mitchell]

I've been yaking with Sebastian about mounting PDs from my apartment
(NW Reno, on a hill) and backhauling to his house near UNR for a bit
now. I've got a Cisco 1240AG dual-radio WAP with quad RP-TNCs (two per
radio) that would work wonderfully as a bridge point for multiple
backhauls while maintaining client access locally. The great thing
about this model is the connectorized antennas and the flexibility of
IOS (I can operate on multiple SSIDs, in dynamically assigned VLANs,
on a per-client and per-radio basis). It's also designed for
"challenging RF environments" where LoS isn't a guarantee.

UNIX is simple, but it takes a genius to understand it's simplicity.
