shefnet web site seems to have gone AWOL, but there is still the
consumesheffield at burngreave.net mailing list.

For those who came to Aktivix sheffield and saw the Pebble wireless access point
being built, out of old PC and wifi card, we've ported the 'stuff' thats in the
pebble to the OpenWRT platform on the LinkSys WRT54GS ( this is a £50 consumer
Access Point ).. which now supports ospf for routing, wds for inter AP links,
and vpn encryption on internode links.  ( at least in our version ).  Other
goodies you can plug in are asterix ( an open source VOIP application ),
quality of service.  So for £50 you get a really powerful building brick for
community network building.
