[OpenWireless Tech] Hello World

[Gj]

Good to see I'm not alone here either and thanks to SaschaM for the heads up :)

Openwrt is a good OSS wifi router firmware starting point with wide decice support and one that hasn't gone the closed path of others eg meraki (was MIT roofnet istr before the vc's demanded their pound of flesh) 

I like the android app idea Tom - never having looked at iPhone I wonder what's involved with creating and equivalent iOS app?

AFAIK all it takes is a firmware upgrade for systems with ordinary recent WiFi chips to use it, so I imagine routers should be able to support it as long as the driver makers added support for it.
