Hi all,
At last, I am happy to say that a hundred Mesh Potato beta units are
ready for order. Thanks to Jim Forster and his organisation
networktheworld.org who generously offered to underwrite the cost of
these hundred units, they are available at no charge to beta testers
with the exception of the cost of shipping. Let me say again how much

OpenWRT - reboot command on the Atheros 2315

dirkvanderw...@gmail.com (Dirk van der Walt) — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 12:55:58 UT

Hi list,

I know there's a lot of Athero's knowledge here, so here goes:

I've flushed a EnGenius with the latest SVN of OpenWRT. It has a 2315
chip.

The 'reboot' command works as long as the wireless is NOT activated.
As soon as I activate the wireless the reboot command does not work.
(It will run the kill init scripts and just hang - no output what so

Mesh potatoes and Wimax

besi...@gmail.com (Besian Istrefi) — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 11:13:06 UT

In a couple of years Wimax is going to take a substantial market share
of wireless broadband access worldwide.

Do you anticipate regulatory challenges regarding spectrum allocation
e.tc because of competition from licensed, commercial Wimax giants
that can see Mesh potatoes as a threat to their business?

freenum.org - a suggestion to examine a new communications pointer method

johnht...@gmail.com (jtodd) — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 05:21:08 UT

Hello -
I was referenced to this group by Steve Song. I'd like to bring to
your attention some of the benefits of taking a look at the numbering
methods provided by freenum.org for various components of the Village
Telco project. Freenum provides a globally-unique, telephone-friendly
numbering plan that scales extremely well and is more compatible with

Digital Comm on Version of Mesh Potato

jon.rol...@constitution.org (Jon_Roland) — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 01:56:55 UT

Mesh networking for analog phones is a good concept, but to be broadly
useful it also needs to support digital communications, with computers
or smart phones as the client devices. It would seem what while
developing them, you ought to go ahead and enable them for broader
uses.

My concern is emergency disaster situations, and here in the U.S., as

Hi all,

If you have 17 absolutely idle minutes and you can't think of anything

MP "Build Environment"

lew.pitc...@digitalfreehold.ca (Lew Pitcher) — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 18:46:33 UT

Hi, guys and gals
How is software for the MP built? Is there a special "build environment" (i.e.
GCC settings, special libraries, etc.) for the MP? Where can I find it
documented?
Also, is there an MP emulator or "virtual MP" available? I'm thinking of
something like a QEmu or VMWare "image", along with the requisite VM

open source with FXO

I am excited to see small and relatively cheep device that includes a
FXO. I am not sure what type of os this device will be running, but I
would really like it to be able to run OpenVPN on the device in order
to secure the SIP stream and to also make it possible to still make
calls from within countries that block SIP. So hopefully people who

Great work!

chuckmckni...@gmail.com (Charles McKnight) — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 05:23:58 UT

Greetings,

Extremely interested to read about the project in Linux Journal and
the other data on the web site. Wondered if/when it would be feasible
to tackle something like an Open Source GSM femtocell that connects to
either a local analog line or a MeshPotato like device.

Keep up the great work, I'm looking forward to see how things develop!
