Date: 1/3/2002 @ 6:30pmBR Report from MichaelCodantiBR Signal: Pretty darn goodBR Coverage: Pretty much everywhere (including Starbucks)BR Test Equipment: old Toshiba laptop with a Toshiba WiFi card (Lucent) w/internal antennaBR Speed: ExcellentBR BR Date: 1/4/2002 @ 6:57pmBR Report from AndrewWoods: I'm currently chilling in the Starbucks in the square, getting a good signal, around 22db SNR. i'm using an unmodified lucent silver card. it covers most of the square very well. it's 6:57pm at the moment. it dies inside powell's around 4 steps past the door, which is to be expected, as it is sunken in brick. haven't gotten any questions yet, but a lot of weird looks. thanks a lot, guys! i will be spending a lot of time downtown, now. haha. (note: i'm using win2k, and mozilla (0.9.7) wouldn't pull up the nocatauth page, but IE 5.00.2920 pulled it up no problemo. very cool.) Update 01/12/02: I'm currently updating my debian installation to unstable, again from the Starbucks (it's cold outside). I'm getting around 85-90kBps. I had no trouble getting connected. The only difficulty I've had so far is a more general linux problem; for some reason, it doesn't like to use the DNS address provided by DHCP, unless the DNS server's ip is globally resolvable, i.e. not the gateway. So, if you're having connection problems in linux, but you can ping internet IPs, try adding a known nameserver IP to resolv.conf.BR BR Date: 1/17/2002 @ 4:26pmBR Report from PeterBakke: hello, this is being mailed from the p.c. square starbucks, and i happen to be running macos x. it appears to be working flawlessly ...BR BR
