| 14:50.55 | udgover | Hi everybody, Would like to know if some wireless card including PXE exist |
| 16:01.11 | Norky | I don't know of any, and I think it would be pretty difficult to do |
| 16:01.30 | Norky | you'd have to implement a wireless supplicant in the PXE boot rom |
| 16:02.26 | Norky | and then what do you do about wireless PSKs? HAve the user enter it every time the machine boots? Store it in NVRAM (not very secure)? |
| 16:04.16 | Norky | what application do you want PXE over 802.11a/b/g for? |
| 16:05.58 | Norky | if it's booting small diskless client machines either do it in wired network or boot from a local flash device (CF, usb flash, SD) |
| 16:45.37 | udgover | the aim of this project is to allow students to boot their NetBSD partition only when they are in the school |
| 16:45.46 | udgover | on their laptop |
| 16:46.57 | udgover | The NetBSD partition is for a school work |
| 16:47.32 | udgover | NetBSD partition will be encrypted |
| 16:48.16 | udgover | we don't want to have wired network |
| 16:48.22 | udgover | only wireless |
