Mississippi Network Diagram and Configuration
A nucab named "mississippi" serves DHCP and does NAT for our DSL line. All of the metrix boxes run ["STP"]. The whole network is bridged, and in the 10.11.104.0/22 network.

TODO
- Install the new software and WDS configurations on all nodes.
- Try repointing metrix-ed's 11a antenna at metrix-commons. If successful:
- Repoint metrix-naya-nw's 11a antenna at metrix-commons; and
- Replace metrix-naya-sw with the Commons cisco.
- The Sector antennas on Naya might benefit from being repointed...
- Install link to second DSL line (in bookstore) and setup round-robin load balancing
- Need to install a "repeater" at Cecily's location, attached to the ethernet port on the PoE injector.
- Need to install a "repeater" at Amnesia brewing inside and behind the corrogated steel.
- What's the deal with Broadcom-based client devices connected to Atheros based APs? Why doesn't it work? Under what circumstances (if any) will it? [Troy said he no longer has the problem with the current madwifi drivers, thinks it was a problem with the old wds-branch code].
