[pp.int.general] Egypt Help

[bbox-gs]

hi all

we have a handle on an openwrt firmware and olsr 0.6. We are looking for a list of easy to acquire access points used in the region to cook firmware with correct chipsets drivers.

an issue we could use help with is uplinks.  we should be able to bridge a mesh network to whatever.  we need to identify methods out of local government control - satellite technologies seem likely...  any uplink people out there that could lend a hand.

see:

thank you
