Reply-To: Byzantium@hacdc.org We are in an interesting situation. Our call for hardware for Byzantium was just laptops and USB keys, but we're also extending an existing Commotion mesh, and trying to get a point to point connection to a part of the city that has stable power and internet. Byzantium works without the special equipment, but as we said in our talk, long range links must be improvised on a case by case basis.

It made me lol a bit that their website specifically says this:

*Unlike most mesh implementations, a Byzantium Mesh requires no specialized equipment that may not be easy to get during an emergency, just an x86 computer with at least one 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless interface.*

yet now we are in search of specialty wifi hw? :) chris
