Greetings,

I found out about the HSMM-MESH world yesterday on reddit. I did some looking into it and realized I have my old WRT-54G sitting on a shelf since I upgraded to a new router. I'm planning on flashing the HSMM-MESH firmware to it probably this weekend.

This sounds like a fun way to use this older hardware.

I'd like to hear from anyone in my area (Hagerstown, MD) who might also be running a node. I've looked on the map and I don't see anyone near me, however I understand that registration on there is not automatic.

A member of our local Apple User Group has given me a WRT54G v4 that he had still in the shrink-wrap. It was flashed to the HSMM firmware within five minutes of being out of the box. So with that accomplished I have doubled the number of mesh nodes in Hagerstown MD. :) This one will probably end up in the trunk of my car on solar and battery power.

Craigslist has provided a router for the third and "final" N8ONW node. The plan with this one is to get it on the roof with a decent antenna to act as the beacon for my other nodes to connect to the rest of town.
