Is the linuxwireless.org web site OK?

Is the linuxwireless.org web site OK?

[Larry Finger]

If you browse to linuxwireless.org, do you get the correct page? I don't, but
did yesterday.

My ISP has been having some problems with hackers getting at their name servers
and that may be the source of my trouble. On the other hand, the web site may
have been hacked.

I would assume the web site itself was not hacked, but someone just
forgot to renew the domain.. Based on the whois data, I would assume the
expiration date was yesterday and after that, someone/something just
changed the domain to point somewhere else..

Please update your bookmarks to use wireless.kernel.org. Alejandro
Bonilla is the owner of linuxwireless.org and was reluctant to give it
to us so just in case we started prefering to use wireless.kernel.org
which we do have more control over.

Hopefully once he gets this he'll update it though.

I'm reluctant to help anyone that expects people owe them anything. The fact that I gave linuxwireless.org for use is a Gift as I normally pay the Domain Price. This only makes you a really bad admin for not knowing when it expires.

I will surely Update the subscription, let me know if you want to keep using the Site.

Thanks, BTW is this the best e-mail to use for you in case of a
linuxwireless.org MX failure of some sort?

If I browse http://wireless.kernel.org I seem to get everything 
right.
