Linux Unwired [Electronic resources] نسخه متنی

Acknowledgments

Roger Weeks

Writing this book would not have been possible without the backing
and inspiration of my wife, Cynthia. Despite a house sometimes too
cluttered with geek gear, long technical conversations, and more than
one late night, she's always there for me.

Many thanks also to Schuyler Erle, who not only got the book approved
by O'Reilly, but somehow managed to convince them
that I should be the author.

All of the "Cats" should be thanked
publicly for their amazing amounts of knowledge, friendship, and hard
work: Rob Flickenger, Schuyler Erle, Adam Flaherty, Nate Boblitt, Jim
Rosenbaum, and Rich Gibson. Without them, significant parts of the
West Coast would be very boring, and the wireless community would be
much poorer.

Finally, many thanks to Brad Silva for excellent hardware advice and
soldering skills.

Edd Dumbill

I would like to thank Marcel Holtmann and Maxim Krasnyansky for their
devoted work on the BlueZ Linux Bluetooth stack and, of course my
wife Rachael for her patient support.

Brian Jepson

My thanks go out to Schuyler Erle and Rob Flickenger for helping to
develop the original outline of this book and for technical review.
Thanks also to Adam Flaherty for technical review.
I'm very grateful to Roger and Edd for being such
great coauthors.

I'd especially like to thank my wife, Joan, and my
stepsons, Seiji and Yeuhi, for their support and encouragement
through my late night and weekend writing sessions, my occasional
trips around town in a car full of Wi-Fi and GPS equipment, and the
various milliwattage that soaked through the walls of my home office
while I worked on this book.
