It's not dead, it's still showing up in weird places you don't run linux/freebsd in embedded RTOSes which borrow the freebsd networking/wifi stack.

Also PPC64 BE may be dead from the current generation of openpower chips for the bare metal hardware, but not from the VM side. There's a weird reason there's still PPC64BE and it's due to a large three letter company...

Hi,

That's literally not true at all. It's not a requirement of wave 2 that this occurs- it's purely up to the AP firmware and software in question. Now, this may be something some vendors do because it's nice, but you certainly can't do it if you manually setup a bunch of wave-2 devices on different channels.

Buy a mesh AP that actually is a mesh mesh, not a hub-and-spoke mesh.

TL;DR - buy proper mesh APs like Eeros. Run ethernet where you can between them. Let them figure the best allocation of channels and paths out.

It's a solved problem if you know the right company to choose.

err, trolling or not? ;-) That's literally what's going on..

the battery stores electrical POTENTIAL. It needs to go from one side of the battery to the other, or all you have is a battery that's very positive ... and wanting electrons from the ground.

Sure, but enterprise email also has a "archive this for x time period separate from the user inbox" for various reporting/legal requirements. The user doesn't get any input into it at all.

It's not always about the user!

wait, still? how long has it been?

Hi! kk6vqk here!

yeah, I dropped by HRO recently. They're still trying to sell/retire. I think it's time to stock up on discrete parts before it's all ebay.

Note: this also assumes you're single and have no kids.

If you're two engineers without children - sure, you can afford to save that and buy. But remember - you still have that expensive morgage to pay off, even in an economic downtown. With rent you can at least move. With a morgage, you have to sell, and .. let's just say, being saddled with a black mark for needing to default on your home sucks.

If you're two engineers with children - then childcare per child from 0 -> K(indergarden) is spendy - $1400 a month upwards per child. At some point you think sure, I'll just get a nanny for two kids - but $3600 a month isn't a lot of money to be paying legit to someone who also lives local - if your rent is $3k a month, then anyone local is likely also paying that. So, finding affordable help is hard. So - one parent is effectively working full-time to subsidize childcare - why not just stay home instead?

If you're a single parent raising a child, then you get the above and no financial safety net.

Stuff is expensive out here. Raising that much cash is expensive out here. Holding a $600k or more morgage when the economy tanks - that's also an expensive lesson to learn.

No, it's been in there since freebsd-9. i just taught more things about 11n and bugfixed what was there.

heh, if you're a good C developer and you're in the bay area, drop me a line - adrian@freebsd.org . We need more. :P

Yup. That happened at my previous employer (norse.) I'm glad I saw the writing on the wall..

Hi!

I'm in the bay area, and we're looking for hardware/software people. Email me, adrian@freebsd.org !

Sounds like the university I worked at! One /16 for everyone.
