Any way to hack firmware...

[Compl33t]

of a WiFi card to increase the output?

I've got a Gigabyte WPKG...

U should speak to TheRodent

Jawug has been hacking away at the firmware for some gigabyte AP's, without much success.
Gigabyte actually released the Source for their Firmware under the GPL, but no-one has been able to get a successfully built firmware from it.

Thanks for the reply.

Would the JAWUG kit be sufficient to start a WUG in other areas, or is it optimised for use in your WUG?!

The JAWUG Kit will work anywhere.
Just specify that its for a Different WUG, and we wont load the Jawug firmware on it

ah...but you see...i'd like the access point to have a higher output than normal...what language is the OpenSource firmware written in? Assembly?

 

[daffy]

We'll put the normal OpenWRT Firmware on it, which will allow you to do all that nifty stuff.

But for Jawug we're writing some extra goodies for OpenWRT which will make it a little more automated.

Thanks....I'm busy saving, we're planning to be up and running with the first two nodes by March/April.

I'll get in touch with you
