  • Linux Wireless LAN Howto 1 Introduction
    < Linux Wireless LAN Howto > Linux Wireless LAN Howto Jean Tourrilhes 25 July 07 Linux & Wireless LANs : Un*x, with no string attached... 1 Introduction This document will explore the magical world of Wireless LANs and Linux. Wireless LAN is not a very widespread and well known technology, even in the Linux world, so we will try to gather here most of the available information. Despite the fact that it is very similar to common networking technologies, it is significantly different to justify this specific document covering the subject. 1.1 What is a Wireless LAN ? It’s a networking technology allowing the connection of computers without any wires and cables (apart from the mains), mostly using radio technology (and sometime infrared). It’s called LAN (Local Area Network) because the range targeted is small (within an office, a building, a store, a small campus, a house...). This technology is slowly growing (I should say maturing), and despite a general lack of interest, Linux is able to take advantage of some of the wireless networks available. 1.2 Content of this document My first task is to talk a bit about the different Wireless LANs options under Linux. What the products on the market are, their compatibility with Linux and where to find the necessary bits and pieces to make them work. This should help you to make your mind on the product of your dreams. Once you’ve picked a Wireless LAN, you will have to live with it. The next chapter go through the main differences of Wireless LAN compared to other networking technologies.

  • Oral History of Jeff Abramowtiz
    Oral History of Jeff Abramowitz Interviewed by: Rich Redelfs, with Marc Weber Recorded: December 2, 2014 Mountain View, California CHM Reference number: X6922.2014 © 2015 Computer History Museum Oral History of Jeff Abramowitz Rich Redelfs: Hi, this is Rich Redelfs, and I'm here with Mark Weber from the Computer History Museum. And we're interviewing Jeff Abramowitz as part of our series on the history of Wi-Fi. Jeff was the originator and conceiver of the Wi-Fi Alliance and has some background in Wi-Fi before that. And we'll be digging into that here today. Jeff and I worked together at 3Com, so we have that in common. I'm on the board of trustees here at the museum and also a general partner with Foundation Capital. So Jeff, welcome. Jeff Abramowitz: Thank you very much. Happy to be here. Redelfs: Great. Well, let's start off with a little bit of your background. You grew up in New Jersey, if I remember correctly. Abramowitz: Yeah, I did. Redelfs: And engineering degrees, and I remember-- Jeff and I worked with a guy at 3Com who he went to high school with. And I remember having a conversation with him about Jeff in high school, what was he like? And he said, the smartest kid in our high school. So tell me about high school and how you got into wireless. Abramowitz: So I guess standard New Jersey geek slash sports-loving musician would describe my background. I did play in a band in high school as well.
