Village Telco - 18 min 58 sec ago

perform under different situations, what buffer battery will be the
best, and following these data, what solar paneel would fit best.

re: ip address & phone number allocation

Village Telco - 18 min 58 sec ago
Hi all,
I know that on the Robin-Mesh project they convert the MAC address of the
hardware into the IP address used on the network.
Maybe you guys should do that? It would save you all from manually having to
set an IP & phone number for each device.
I've modified the code a little, so that it would provide a phone number as

Getting started

Village Telco - 18 min 58 sec ago
Hi all,

I've been lurking for a while - trying to get my head around
everything. I am a team member of the New Zealand Red Cross IT&T ERU,
and we're interested in these technologies as one of the solutions we
might be able to use to rapidly deploy telecommunication capability
after a disaster has ravaged existing infrastructure.

Atheros SoC and LED mappings

Village Telco - 18 min 58 sec ago
Hi all,
We've been successfully implementing OpenWRT on the EAP-3660.
Unfortunately according to our supplier the EAP-3660 is now at end of life,
and the replacement is the M36.
They both contain Ateros SoC chips:
ath_ahb: wifi0: Atheros 2315 WiSoC: mem=0xb0000000, irq=3
It seems that although the M36 has extra features out of the box, the

link metric for VoIP over Mesh

Village Telco - 18 min 58 sec ago
Hi all,
I was installing a new VT node in the Bo-kaap community on the weekend
and ran into some anomalies in using the batman link metric as a link
quality indicator. More than once I found that even when batmand -cd1
was showing a strong (230-254) link connection, I was unable to ssh
without huge lag into a device only a hop or two away. Has anyone

New version of Afrimesh

Village Telco - 18 min 58 sec ago
Hi all,
I thought you might want to see the fruits of Antoine's hard labour
with Afrimesh over the last few months. The new version (.954) sports
a much cleaner and more intuitive interface as well as Village Telco
customisations that enable Afrimesh to recognise a new Mesh Potato on
the network and prompt the administrator to configure it. You can see

Hi all,
I spoke at an event called Tech4Africa on Thursday last week which was
