Here are some links that we think are pretty usefull with respect to the Durban area, as well as Wifi and telecommunications in general.

Firmware

http://www.openwrt.org - The best firmware out there at the moment, only use this if you are fully comfortable with the Linux CLI. It is modular based so you can customise it in any way you want. http://www.freifunk.net - Based on the OpenWrt core this firmware has an easy to use Web GUI which makes it simple to configure, this firmware is specifically designed for mesh networking and has OLSR built in. http://wrt54g.thermoman.de - This is the unofficial version of Sveasofts Talisman firmware, read the site to find out why Sveasoft is the DEVIL! http://www.dd-wrt.org - If you need a firmware for general use as an access point with a HUGE feature set and a very nice GUI this is the one to go for.
