I'm looking for a product, I can put on a
mobile network, scan for available SSID's, connect to
any wifi network. Pick up an IP Address then
translate it for the local LAN. Also looking
for information on powerful 802.11 cards, Power over
Ethernet (POE), 2.4ghz cat5 lmr n connector
conversion (for shorter cable runs).
I've been testing several products, Karlnet makes a
SEC Client that did all this, but was not easy
to configure, and had no way of scanning ssid's
and connecting to the one you wanted. I've
tried smartbridges, they go a little further in
ease, but still lack compatability.
I have a custom Linux Appliance for controlling
various internet connections, I was thinking of
incoporating wifi into it, it has a built in
webbrowser, and is acting as the gateway for my
networks. Looking for powerful cards, or cat5 -
lmr n converters for shorter cable lengths. Then
offer it as a solution, because I don't find
anything out there that does what I want.
