Thanks for that Chris.
We have a Prism 2.5 card on backorder, so we will give that a go on one
of the Soekris net4501s we have in stock for educational purposes.
However it looks like we might be back to our original plan of
ruggedising the guts of a commercial access point. Our current favourite
is the Netgear WG302 as it supports 802.3af POE. Unfortunately the
mainboard is quite large.
Anybody know of good sources of exterior cases that provide protection
IP-67 standards? The minibox is going to be too small. |
