Well, I'm actually thinking of re-flashing my Fonera router with
dd-wrt. Not a single person has used my free wireless access point
over the past year, and there don't seem to be any other Fon users
nearby whose wifi networks I can use. I imagine this Fon thing works
better in the crowded cities of Europe than the great state of Texas
with all its wide open spaces . . .
The Fonera is small, has one ethernet port and a wifi antenna, which
would make it an ideal bridge to a wired network. Or for the
penetration testers, a great little rogue access point :)
