CAPWAP is here?

I got an interesting comment on a year old post of mine regarding CAPWAP. Matt from Aerohive had some interesting things to say about CAPWAP and the state of things.  I wrote a somewhat lengthy response so I thought I'd put up a new post on it. As…

PV149 and IRQ challenges

Ok, so that ZoneMinder install I was hoping to do in the last post...yeah....not happening. I've run into this before but I've decided it's just not worth the trouble of trying to fix it.  For some reason when you install the PV149…
