We have started an unofficial wireless network at the college hostel, (though access is mostly restricted to my batchmates department). We do authentication using FreeRADIUS, and at the center of the network is a donated D-Link DWL-900AP+ access point (thanks! IDG), which is connected to Sabbir’s desktop (which functions as the RADIUS/Proxy server). Maybe I’ll also experiment with NoCatAuth for the network. Another thing that the users want is some kind of cross platform Instant Messaging solution within the LAN (Jabber+Rendezvous, maybe ??). Here are some pictures of the networking “gear” and the users:
