[Wien] Introduction

[Michael Bauer]

Dear Gabor,

You can check if the D-Link is supported by either Freifunk or OpenWRT
firmware, if so, you can use that one. Antenna depends on your situation
to the general network, it is best to build a pole on the roof and get
at least 2 antennas (one direct connecting to a direct peer and one
omnidirectional antenna). If you do not hesitate to invest money we
would suggest you to get 5Ghz (802.11a) equipment as the quality is
better.

There is no monthly fee, donations are welcome. Bandwith is donated and
partly payed of a sister-project (community based housing/datacenter). 

> 3. Is it open for foreign peoples also, or only to residents in Vienna?

As you live in a place where you can recieve the signal, the network is
open for you. Feel free to meet us on monday.

greetings mihi
