OpenWrt is described as a Linux distribution for embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and ... [More] configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. [Less]

Some vendors refuses to release specs or even a binary Linux driver for their WLAN cards. ndiswrapper tries to solve this by making a kernel module that can load Ndis (Windows network driver API) drivers. The goal is not to implement all of the Ndis API, but to implement the functions needed to get cards without Linux drivers to work.

MadWifi is a Linux driver for IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN devices that are based on chipsets from Atheros. It supports all relevant modes of operation (client, Access Point, 802.11 IBSS aka ad-hoc, ahdemo, WDS, monitor), state-of-the-art encryption ... [More] (WPA, WPA2, 802.1x), Multi-SSID operation, and more. The driver itself is open source, but requires the use of a Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) that is available in precompiled binary-only form for many different architectures. [Less]

Aircrack-ng is an 802.11 WEP and WPA-PSK keys cracking program that can recover keys once enough data packets have been captured. It implements the standard FMS attack along with some optimizations like KoreK attacks, thus making the attack much ... [More] faster compared to other WEP cracking tools. In fact aircrack is a set of tools for auditing wireless networks. [Less]

OpenBox4 is a project that aims at creating an alternative firmware for the Neuf Box 4 (the DSL gateway/router from Neuf Cegetel, the second largest ISP in France).

ROBIN (ROuting Batman Inside) is an Open Source mesh network project, deployed on top of OpenWRT kamikaze, running on any Atheros AP51 routers (such as Meraki Mini, La Fonera and others) and using OLSR or BATMAN as routing algorithm. ROBIN spreads ... [More] a wired internet connection such as a DSL throughout an apartment complex, neighborhood, village or school, and work on a variety of commonly available, low-cost hardware.

This is PEWIT, Polling Enlightens WIreless neTworks. It serves a so-called "Polling Method" to solve the hidden station problem in wireless networks. Thanks to this scheduling algorithm, no packet collision will occur in theory. So, PEWIT makes outdoor wireless networks more efficient.

Nightwing allows the creation of fast deployment wireless networks and without the need to make complicated configurations that allows the extention of the network. From the implementation of a Mesh technology called B.A.T.M.A.N, Nightwing allows the ... [More] extention of Wireless Network with the simplicity of adding devices and that works with a minimal human intervention. [Less]
