NODE

MANAGER

I'm writing from MadridWireless, in Madrid, Spain to let you guys know about a tool we've built to help us manage IP allocation among our nodes and backbone links. We call it NodeManager, and can be seen in use at http://nodos.madridwireless.net.

Basically, you set up a pool of IPs for your client (wireless) networks and a pool for your peer-to-peer "backbone" links. Then, users (node owners) can request IP allocation automatically. The whole process is done online, with authorization done by designated admins via email. And since you have node information and IP information in one place, it then can do some DNS robot tricks, and generate a backbone network topology graph.

We have about 27 nodes up and running, most with links between them via IP tunnels. We should have our first WiFi links soon. We run OSPF and have 2 BGP links with other community groups in Spain.

I'm in the process of putting it into the savannah.gnu.org CVS and integrating it with EvilBunny's NodeDB. The tool is in a very stable "base" stage, and ready for collaboration.

Please take a look and see if it's useful to you all! It is multi-language as well - choose "english" down at the bottom right of the page (the default is Spanish)

Opensource.instant802.com, Where 802.11 meets Open-Source Software

Here you can find the complete source code, build environment, and instructions for flashing an 802.11 access point with linux 2.4.17. The end product is a linux-based access point providing full wireless services, including multipoint to multipoint wireless bridging (802.1d), while at the same time distributing fully standard 802.11b connections to end users.

OpenAP hardware and equipment

You must obtain the following hardware to create your OpenAP.

An access point based on the Eumitcom WL11000SA-N board.

This is the OpenAP hardware platform. Eumitcom WL11000SA-N boards are resold as:

• US Robotics (USR 2450) (tested)
• SMC EZconnect (2652W) (tested)
• Addtron (AWS-100) (untested)

Open Projects Net exists to provide an interactive environment for free software and open source projects and support groups. Our network is currently implemented using Internet Relay Chat (IRC). Our aim is to help improve the communication and coordination skills of our participants and to maintain a friendly, efficient environment for project coordination and technical support.

In 1998, OPN had about 100 users and less than 20 channels. We currently peak at nearly 4,000 users and over 1,300 channels. It's hard to maintain a friendly IRC environment, and we put a lot of effort into it. It requires social hacks and software hacks. We continue to grow and we'll keep working to ensure that the network remains a productive and a useful place.
