[Alan]

PLUG Advanced Topics meeting
January 21st 2008
7pm - 9pm

Location:  Jax
           826 SW 2nd Avenue 
           Portland, Oregon

Speaker:  Russell Senior
Topic:    Troubleshooting Wireless Networks

 "I will give a brief description of linux tools useful in 
 diagnosing wifi problems: iwconfig, dhclient, kismet and the like.

 Driver problems are beyond the scope of this talk.  To me, driver
 problems boil down to (a) picking the right hardware or (b) being
 patient and waiting (possibly forever).  At Personal Telco, we focus
 on building infrastructure.  Using that infrastructure is a client
 problem.  We are happy to share what we know, but given (a) we
 already picked the right hardware so we might not have that much to
 share.

 Bearing that caveat in mind, I can try to address specific problems
 raised by the audience.

 I can also talk about my recent MetroFi survey, if people are
 interested."
