New OB node up and running! Wow!

Yes, OB's new node on channel 11 is up!!! :) Check it out!

The only hardware problem was a bad pci slot in the m0n0 box, which prevented the box from booting when it was used, so i moved one of the ethernet cards to a differnet slot, and the box was fine.

Software: thank God for chapter 6 in socalfreenet's "Wireless Hacking" book.
Thanks Michael Mee - if not for your clear step-by step instructions i would've
NEVER been able to configure m0n0 so easily! :)

still to do: 1. get the antenna up on its mast. still havent received the
lightning arrestor yet.
2. setup the captive portal

ps - for those interested in buying a 500mw zinwell 2000 AP,it works great but
it comes with no documentation at all, so i can configure m0n0, but not the
radio [not yet].
