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 ... [More] frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. [Less]

This is a piece of software that lets you tunnel IPv4 data through a DNS server. This can be usable in different situations where internet access is firewalled, but DNS queries are allowed. It ... [More] runs on Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD and needs a TUN/TAP device. The bandwidth is assymetrical with limited upstream and up to 1 Mbit/s downstream. [Less]

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 ... [More] , ahdemo, WDS, monitor), state-of-the-art encryption (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]

FreeWRT is a meta GNU/Linux distribution for embedded systems. In this context "meta" means, you can build the complete distribution from source. FreeWRT is meant to be an appliance development kit ... [More] (ADK) especially designed for embedded system developers and advanced users. [Less]

The open Wireless Network Simulator (openWNS) is an open source simulation platform for wireless and multi-cellular mobile communication systems (e.g. UMTS, WiMAX, WLAN). Our goal is to develop an ... [More] open source system level simulation platform (openWNS) for performance evaluation and comparison of wireless and professional multi-cellular mobile communication systems. The simulation platform will offer close-to-emulation implementation of the respective protocol stack, including implementations of detailed interference modeling in reference scenarios, mobility models, traffic load generators, statistical evaluation methods and detailed channel models. [Less]

From Wikipedia: The Better Approach To Mobile Adhoc Networking, or B.A.T.M.A.N., is a routing protocol which is currently under development by the “Freifunk”-Community. B.A.T.M.A.N.'s crucial ... [More] point is the decentralization of the knowledge about the best route through the network - no single node has all the data. Using this technique, the need for spreading information concerning network changes to every node in the network becomes superfluous. The individual node only saves information about the “direction” it received data from and sends its data accordingly. Hereby the data gets passed on from node to node and packets get individual, dynamically created routes. A network of collective intelligence is created. [Less]

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 ... [More] OLSR or BATMAN as routing algorithm. ROBIN spreads 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. [Less]

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 ... [More] collision will occur in theory. So, PEWIT makes outdoor wireless networks more efficient. [Less]

A firmware for large ad-hoc mesh networks. It is based on the Freifunk Firmware from Berlin but largely extended for a good day to day experience.

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).
