  possibilities and pittfalls of IPv6 for free networks
* Tue 13 Oct - Fri 16 Oct: OpenWRT workshops (we're still up to
  organising things, some points of interest: openwrt installation and
  config, kamikaze build environment, ssh keys infrastructure, firmware
  generation, UCI configuration tool, asterisk/ SIP phone)

Ok, after some hesitation, I'm in too. When are you guys going to
arrive/leave? I think just two days wouldn't be worth the whole
distance.

Cheers, Linus

We announced the week-end, but in fact it is starting already the
monday before, until Sunday.

We need to prepare all the nodes and antennas, install the masts and so on.

So if you have the time, it is better to arrive earlier on during the week.

Benjamin,
Would the plan be to use broadcom based gear again in the tests, or is it
possible atheros hardware is going to be included? Ive been having an
internal discussion here with a partner, we would like to know how many
nodes will be tested and if atheros will be part of the test bed?

I personally have 10 foneras, so yes Atheros will be tested.

I am preparing a permanent outdoor testbed with 5 sites with 2 radios
each. One of the goal is to test if each routing protocol can add a
routing cost to hop over the same radio interface.

Hopping over the same radio interface should be costly:
