Open Source Hotspots

From SlashDot.org:
"Not that long ago it was a serious pain to get an 802.11b card to work on a Linux machine... Wi-Fi Planet has a story where they do an overview of a wad of open source Wi-Fi projects....standard Linux routing is enough to create your own access point, with a few other tools like Public IP's Zone CD or the Less Networks Hotspot server, you can freely create a hotspot and manage it all in minutes. I guess all this means that both Wi-Fi and open source are literally 'everywhere'."
