Bought a Bubba|Two a couple of weeks ago, and when speaking to excito over phone they had a ETA in june-july.
Hoping that´s correct so I can dump my wireless router and use the Bubba for that also.

Hello,
i have now my own bubba2. A second hand one, so i have nor
guarantee more, but 100% ok. I have/will made some more
tests with WLAN. My hardware for the test is:
There are more images from the bubba two. But i think
excito will not that i pubish all my high res. picture from bubba.
Everyone can see it is an Intel miniPCI card. This card is well
working in a router with the OS from http://www.fli4l.de. So that is my
test system.

Hi all,
@excito-team: do you have a release-date for the wlan-addon to the b2? What will it cost? I'm still eager to send my wlan-box on retirement.
@mike_nl:
Cool thing. Did you manage to get your b2 running as wlan access point?

Hi all,
Sorry for being quiet about this for so long. We are very sorry for both that and that we are so delayed with the add-on.
I will try to give a short update and info on how this progresses.
The main reason for the long delay in the wlan add-on is that the drivers for the N-capable wlan cards that we want to use has been to unstable for any good use. Things are however starting to shape up in this area. With our latest 2.6.30 testing kernel we have got good initial results in our testing and are currently continuing with broader tests. If everything turns out well we should be able hopefully complete the add-on in a not to distant future.
If you have any specific questions regarding this i will try to answer them in this thread.

Is that card backwards compatible to a, b and g wireless mode?

Hi Ubbe,
Our ambition is to allow for configuration in both "pure" N and combined BGN mode.

Does that mean that it only will be able to run the 2.4 GHZ band or will it be capable of the 5GHZ band as well?
And if so, will it be able to use both bands at once or must you specify wich frequency band you want to be using?
And one third question, how will the add-on afftect the overall power consumption?

Hi keke79 and others,
In pure N-mode it of course will use both 2.4 and 5GHz if the wlan-card supports this. In BGN-mode i cant give you a definite answer without doing any research myself. B and G mode will of course only be able to use 2.4 but im not sure if one could run anything in parallell on the 5GHz band.
The same goes for configuration of the two bands. We have not yet finalized those parts yet.
Regarding power consumption, it will of course be affected. I have no exact figures here but it should be in the neighborhood of 2 watt extra during load. And this should be perfectly ok with the design we have today.

Maybe this is already an obsolete question, but if I buy one of those WLAN stick things, could I use a Netbook with WLAN connection just like it were connected to the wired LAN?

Hi all,
Since we kicked out the 1.2.1 bugfix upgrade we now focus primarily on the upcomming 1.3 release that is scheduled with the main feature of WLAN. Im unable to give a firm releasedate for this now. But it will take at least 3-4 weeks from now.
@jws, i'm not sure that i understand your question. The wlan-feature will primarily act as an access point in router mode and thus you will be able to access Bubba, your lan and the rest of the internet in the same way as you would with any other router/AP.
