Summary
Kurt Keville talks about the Rooftop WLAN project at MIT, and today's best practices in wireless Linux
Abstract
Wireless Access Points have become powerful embedded Linux appliances in recent years. Much of the functionality of standalone boxes or general servers that would reside at a layer above the wireless access equipment has now been brought down to the "first mile" point. Access to these features have, in turn, inspired programmers to do considerable development in packet routing protocols and network topology designs. Kurt Keville will give an overview of contemporary best practices in wireless Linux with particular emphasis on his involvement with the Rooftop WLAN project at MIT.
