<h3>About</h3>

The Wireless Weimar Project is about building a free wireless network in Weimar. It tries to connect people interested in expanding the community-based network, collect information and best-practices in wireless technology/applications and coordinate the efforts of the individual node-owners.
Wireless Weimar is a part of subsignal.org, a student initiative supported by the bauhaus-university's student organization [http://m18.uni-weimar.de/~stuko/ StuKo].

<h3>About this Wiki</h3>

In this wiki you can find infomation about

* the wireless weimar network in general
* howto's and technical help
* links to other wireless-projects around the globe

For an overview of what can be found here, check out the [[TOC|Table of Content]]. If you think you have something to add, feel free to do so - but please show some respect to our [[Wiki Guidelines]].

<h3>How to participate</h3>

If you are interested in becoming a part of the network, you can add yourself to [[nodes]]. Then you might want to join our mailinglist, wireless@subsignal.org. Send an empty mail to wireless-subscribe@subsignal.org. Meetings are organized sporadically on an unregular basis, and announced over the mailinglist.

Howto OpenWRT

141.54.160.62: initial openwrt howto

<h2>Howto install the OpenWRT-Firmware on a Linksys WRT54g</h2>

==Introduction==
OpenWRT is a highly configurable firmware for the [[WRT54G]]. It provides different packages for diverse functionalities. This howto will cover the basic installation of the firmware, as well as some specific configurations.

===Other Sources===
There are several howtos for OpenWRT on the net:
#[http://openwrt.org/userguide.html OpenWRT userguide]
#[http://www.funkfeuer.at/~bernd/linksys-wrt-anleitung.html Howto] on funkfeuer.at, vienna wireless

==Basic Install==
The basic installation is documented on the [http://openwrt.org OpenWRT homepage], in the userguide section. In most cases you can skip the part about compiling from source.
#Grab a [http://openwrt.org/downloads/snapshots/ snapshot] of a pre-compiled firmware
#Follow the instructions from [http://openwrt.org/userguide.html#before_you_flash here]

===Install ssh (dropbear)===

==Configuring the network==

===Ad-hoc networking===

===AP-Mode===

===AP-Client===

WDS

2004-09-22T22:11:40Z

141.54.160.62: added information on WDS

<h2>Summary</h2>
WDS stands short for Wireless Distribution System. It is a mode of connecting wireless accesspoints on MAC-layer, forming one big network. The connected APs exchange information about the connected clients and respond accordingly. Amongst other things allows this for clients to freely roam between the APs.

Routing-protocol

141.54.160.62: added link to wds

<h2>where do we go? </h2>

'''the problem:''' in a growing wireless network there will be the situation that a node will have to be routed over a number of other nodes to reach its destination-node (multi-hop-routing).

'''the alternatives:'''

* BGP/RIP/OSPF - centralized quagga/zebra servers propagate existing routes
* [[Meshed Routing]] - a novel way of ad-hoc routing, nodes modify their routing tables independently
* [[WDS]] - Wireless-Distribution-System, all nodes act as APs and form one big subnet via WDS-Links
