I made a modified version of Limey that has support
for WiFi and one or two USB WiFI adapters. It worked. It took a while to learn
my way around Limey Linux, which I also added wirelesstools to. I remember that
I had broken something in the distro, though. I can't remember what, this is a
couple of years ago, and I was able to find a new location for the computer that
had a router 3' away, so no need for wifi any longer.
But it ran off a CF card and I can't remember which
wifi adapter I had compiled into the kernel, which also needed an adjustment to
libraries.
I know this isn't clear at all...sorry, it is hazy
in my memory.

Subject: [App_rpt-users] Portable
Nodes
Hi All,
I was just wondering what people have deployed as a “node
in a box” solution.
I’m toying with building a portable node that can use
either WiFi or 3G and which can be set-up in an arbitrary location as
required. The general idea being aimed at emergency
communications.
So, what radios, what computer power (RTCM, perhaps?), what
power arrangements?
