@ -72,7 +72,9 @@ a much-improved WiFi service at the Gasthof.
<p>In 2018 and 2019 we had good Internet access at basecamp, but the high-gain system was returned to its owner during Covid.
<p>In 2022 Wifi reception from the gasthaus was very poor. The connection script was improved so that dropped connections were restored more quickly. However the basic bandwidth with a cheap antenna was not enough.
<p>In 2023 a new Wifi device (the Alfa) should restore decent connectivity. We hope this will improve everything to how it was in 2019.
<p>In 2023 a new Wifi device (the Alfa) should restore decent connectivity. We hope this will improve everything to how it was in 2019. However this Alfa has proved to be a right bastard to find the right drivers for. Wookey has had to be inventive in using an Ubuntu PPA to make it work with the Acer Aspire 1.
<p>Also during winter 2023/23 Wookey upgraded the operating system on the Acer Aspire 1 netbook from whatever Linpus dubious system it had been running to a decent Debian distribution. This required much coaxing. As of 26 March, it is still a couple of Debian versions behind where we would want it to be.
