<h2>the wireless weimar nodemap (status 11.01.2005)</h2>

there is a more up-to-date map [[Nodes|Here]].

[[Nodemap_Source|Here]] are the source files for ppl interested in updating/improving this map ;)

Antennas

2004-09-16T14:28:07Z

Dan: added TupperUSB, to me its a kind of antenna :)

<h2>there are different types:</h2>

* [[omni]] aka [[broomstick]]
* [[Grid-Antenna]]
* [[parabolic]]
* [[pringles]] aka [[can-antennas]]

and a non-antenna:
* [[TupperUSB]]

USB [[wlan]] Device in a tupper (or otherwise cheap waterproof) box. usb devices are cheap, they can be relatively far away from the host computer (with thin cabling), and they can easily be made relatively weatherproof:

Atmel

2004-09-14T23:46:15Z

Dan:

atmel is a chipset manufacturer.

dan owns an unbranded atmel 76c503a USB wireless device, now enclosed in a [[TupperUSB]] "antenna" atop [[Wall-8]], which functions quite nice. it was EUR 30 some while ago on ebay.

there are various drivers, i found http://at76c503a.berlios.de/ to be the least painful.

Wall-8

2004-09-14T23:40:33Z

Dan:

'''Wallendorfer Str. 8'''

'''Setup''' (in Progress)'''

* my old [[ThinkPad600]] running Gentoo with Kernel 2.4.26-r9 in the roof.
* an 5m Cable leading thru the (existing) antenna mast to a [[atmel]] [[TupperUSB]]
* another 5m Cable leading down to our ceiling.

'''Motive'''

we currently run a [[T-DSL]] for 2 people, which is nicely thick but far too expensive.

'''People'''
* dan, who will set it up.
* mark, who will use it up.

T-DSL

2004-09-14T23:37:40Z

Dan: ADSL != T-DSL

a form of [[ADSL]], as offered by German Telekom.

768kbit downstream, 128 up. mostly good saturation, but not always. disputable service and quasi-monopoly position in some areas (like [[weimar]]...)

ThinkPad600

2004-09-14T23:04:55Z

Dan:

http://dan.f3c.com/misc/thinkpad600.jpg

An IBM ThinkPad 600E has accompanied me for around five years now. It has survived two drops from about a meter height, hours of usage on train and carrying in various transportation vehicles, a whole bunch of hacky festivals (meaning lots of dirt and strange operating environments), a shift of operating systems (from BeOS to [[Linux]]), a 4-inch flood standing on the floor in a soaked cloth bag, my relatively careless overall handling and of course an uncountable number of keystrokes.

About a year ago, the TrackPoint failed and I had to replace the keyboard (spare parts, by that time, were cheap on eBay). Last year, the motherboard went nuts and I had to replace that, too (strictly, it's now a 600X). That's not 'without a glitch', but still I regard this beauty of a laptop as a highly reliable, usable tool. When I eventually will replace it with a more current ThinkPad instance, I will get nostalgic.

I will get nostalgic about the sleek matte rubber coating that they use no more. I'll get nostalgic because the new one will be a little lighter, or larger, or smaller, or different in another aspect of look and feel. I got so used to this tool, I find it ideal. It's exactly how it's supposed to be.

But then again, quintupling my MHz and getting rid of annoying network dongles will probably dry my tears quickly.

For the record:

* around 300MHz (600s seem to go from 266-400) Pentium II (512KB Cache)
* 64MB RAM in factory configuration, mine runs a happy threesixtysomething (RAM that fitted never failed for me)
* Neomagic MagicGraph VGA (256A/V for a 600E, 128 for 600X), 1024x768 TFT
* Cirrus Logic CS4610 audio
* 2 PCMCIA Type II, 1 USB, Mini Audio In/Out, PS/2 and Keyboard with a Y Cable (or just a mouse), Serial port, Parallel port, VGA Out.
* For the 600E, a video output (RCA, with a dongle) that never worked for me, for all 600s, modem and IR ports that I never tried.

it currently is used for setting up [[Wall-8]], but will later be replaced (by an old 233Mhz PC), because i would want it as a mobile [[wireless]] [[router]]

Grid-Antenna

2004-09-14T13:51:20Z

Dan: some historical info

codename "grillrost", directional antenna as organized by harv from some dutch (or danish?) military store.
* sadly no one knows the techfacts/typ/price/manufacurer for this one...
* (some foggy details are on a sticker: "procom" + type identifier - more info soon)

omnidirectional antenna (codename "ghettolight"), as featured on top of [[Liszt-18]].

the antenna features two 180�?�??�?°-halves, with separate connectors, which are unified with a somewhat dubious T-adapter:
