im still trying to get my head around what is necessary to
put together an access point.
can we have a workshop where we build
access points and antennas that will serve
as the core infrastructure for building out a
RCFII mesh.
set one up in dharmasala somewhere
so we can learn how to do it
and use the others that we build to
establish RCFII's in GOA, Kerala, Pune ...
