I have a question about using a RPI for net44.
Since this device only have one physical Ethernet port (and a Wi-Fi NIC).
By which way are you hoping to use those to route some traffic?
The main purpose of a Raspberry Pi appliance is not to act as a router.
It's to provide easy plug-and-play 44Net connectivity for software
already running on the Pi. F/ex, Pi-Star is a great appliance for
digital modes (D-Star, DMR, C4FM...). The vast majority of digital
repeaters and reflectors all over the world are currently connected
through normal Internet. This would allow those nodes to be connected to
44net instead of Internet. Pi-Star is really "Plug and Play" : you flash
a sd-card, you change a few settings through the web interface
(callsign, etc...) and it works. We need the same thing for 44Net
addressing :-)
Of course, this does not replace routers, which are the preferred way to
connect a local network to 44net. This is an alternative option, to
allow mass adoption of 44net, for people who are not network
specialists, and just want things to work HI :-)
