I've actually got it up and running quite well. It's running WPA-TKIP
for the private network too. Even works with my nokia 9300i :P
Reception is quite good after I added a bigger aerial too.
Thank and Kind Regards,

Subject: [ILUG] Free wireless router, and free wireless service
This was mentioned on the list a little while ago. Antoin O Lachtnain,
who gave us a presentation at the AGM, has informed me that he still has
a few codes for free Foneras, and as the codes will expire shortly, he
asked me to repeat his offer - so over to him . . .

FON is the largest WiFi community in the world. Our members share their
wireless Internet access at home and, in return, enjoy free WiFi
wherever they find another Fonero's Access Point.
It all started as a simple idea. Why should you pay for Internet access
on the go when you have already paid for it at home? Exactly, you
shouldn't. So we decided to help create a community of people who get
more out of their connection through sharing.
You can find out more at http://en.fon.com/info/whats_fon.php
OK, so what's the deal here? Well, normally, to become a fonero (member
of FON community) you have to pay 29.95 plus postage for the Linux-based
router. However, we are offering a special deal. You can get a Fonera
router for free (including free postage).
So what's the catch? There has to be a catch, right?
Well, there is, a small one. You have to promise to make the 'Fonero
Promise'. Specifically this means that you have to promise to keep the
router plugged in to the Internet for at least one year. If you decide
you don't want to continue for some reason, you must pass the router on
to someone else who will keep it connected for one year.
So how to take advantage of this offer? Just send me an email at aol - @
- fon.com with the subject 'Free Fonera for ILUG members' and I will
send you back a promotion code which you can use to make the Fonero
Promise and get your free router from the FON Shop.
Offer is valid until December 14 2006.
PS: the free offer includes shipping. You don't have to pay anything.
FON is a company based in Spain and is bound by data protection laws
similar to those in Ireland. FON will collect information about you
during the ordering process, but will not pass any information to third
parties.
