FWIW, I just set up free wireless access for UNO Chicago Grill in their Plaza location (4710 Jefferson) a couple weeks ago using the Linux-based ZONECD product... they don't have the advertising in place, but the system's up and working. :)
The ZONECD stuff works great http://www.publicip.net/... once I realized there was a bug in the wireless router's firmware which left DHCP running after I'd turned it off through the router's web interface.
We'll be using ZONECD to provide free wireless access at the Linda Hall Library within a couple weeks... it's all configured and ready to go, just a case now of getting the boss to approve the Acceptable Use Policy.

Funny, I clicked through something to a finder map the other day. It was
an
askward interface, but it was a public wardriving database. Some of the
open
commercial nodes were listed, but it also showed any detectable node and
what
it's status was. It was slow, but interesting - and of course I have no
idea
what the URL was.
Google is your friend:

There are a lot of re-branded jiwire search engines too:
kcwireless.net used to have a link to a local map on nodedb.com, but they appear to be offline now:

Someone was asking about setting up an ad-hoc network for a festival this Summer. Contact me off list please - I think I may be working on this already. _______________________________________________ Kclug mailing list [email protected] http://kclug.org/mailman/listinfo/kclug
