The WAFreeNet group have come up with a way to control & manage traffic on fixed wireless networks. Its called Frottle. "Such control eliminates the common hidden-node effect even on large scale wireless networks. Frottle works by scheduling client traffic by using a master node to co-ordinate - effectively eliminating collisions. We've found it has given us a significant improvement in network usability and throughput". Thanks jas and aXis.
The OCModshop have updated their info about the VIA Chipset Idle Temperature Hack. "I have received confirmation that this does work on KT333 and KT400 boards. One user reported that instead of registers 92 and 95 he had to change D2 and D5 on his KT400 board. The numbers to change are still the same though. Also, some people have reported that they hear a slight buzz coming from their speakers due to this mod. I have experienced this as well, but for me its hardly noticeable".
