I’m still on the learning curve with the software that runs SmallNetBuilder. The good news is that traffic is healthy. The bad is that the server isn’t handling it so well.
Before I go dip into my pocketbook one more time to buy more RAM, I’ve temporarily disabled the comment feature to see if that helps things. Not exactly a user-friendly thing to do, but it’s just an experiment.
Thanks for your patience while I get the problems sorted out.
Dutch hacker, Mark Hoekstra, has unveiled his latest project—the Slurpr. It's a router that can connect to six wireless networks simultaneously and channel the aggregated bandwidth into a private LAN.
Just before Monday broke here on the East coast, Qualcomm (which minutes later announced that it was acquiring Airgo) "announced the availability of the world's first chipset offering full support for Draft 2.0 of the IEEE 802.11n standard". As Glenn Fleishman points out in his post, since Draft 2.0 won't be voted on until March of next year, this announcement is pitching a chipset that is based upon a "draft of a draft".
We all knew that at some point Airgo would come off its mountain and wallow in the pre-standard mud along with Broadcom, Atheros and Marvell. So I guess if you're going to get dirty, you might as well set a new standard. Congratulations to both Airgo and its proud new owner Qualcomm for establishing a new low in WLAN marketing practices.
