Ok the numbers are in.
Wellington scored much less usage on the wireless front
Well less on the 'being able to pick up with a dinky antenna on the sidewalk' front I happen to know for certain that there are wireless stations out there

Wellington seems to have a few hot spots rather than a general level of
wireless.
It does score higher on the security side though. Of the 17 networks that
I saw, 9 were using WEP
The ones that weren't however did try valiantly to give me IP addresses
and invite me onto their networks.
This kinda freaked me out (this is not an intrusion attempt remember) so I ended up disabling all protocols on that interface
In the spirit of Tim Allen I think I need more power. So I'm on the lookout for a larger antenna, and I think I know just the place to get one on loan =)
Hehe - so when the Crimes Ammendment Act becomes law, it will be illegal to have an Orinoco wireless card on the basis it is "a device capable of interception"? Suggest you change your name to Andrew Garrett before you next venture out - just to avoid confusion. Since I am in Wellington tonight, I might just have a wander around with my laptop and Orinoco... :-) Keith Davidson --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
