Я считаю, что Вы ошибаетесь. Могу отстоять свою позицию. Пишите мне в PM, обсудим.

I don’t live in Galway any more but I’ll try to keep the map updated as people leave comments here. If you drop some more info about the college wifi (which college? open to anyone?) I’ll add it in.

Hi Emmet - great initiative. Just to let you know that I think at the Mocha Beans locations you have to pay for the wireless connection, but I've a vague memory that they were providing it free for a period of time upon spending a certain amount in their shop. All the Mocha Beans locations/franchises are up for sale now, so I don't know how it will be managed in the future. Their WiFi is handled by BitBuzz, and as you'll see from that link they have seven locations in Galway (including one in Oranmore). There are a couple of hotspots there you can add to your map. Also, the new G Hotel at Wellpark in Galway claims to offer "complimentary wireless throughout the G." I guess that means you can go into one of their funky rooms on the ground floor, order a very expensive coffee or drink, and open up your laptop and plug in. It might even work from the car park below - if you do try it out, let me know if it works.

Hi nicola – yes, if you’ve got a network card on your laptop, it should detect the wifi signal automatically. Just connect to it and you’ll be online.

I don’t personally know where there might be hotspots in Castlebar – you could try the local library and caf�s for a start. If you do manage to find some, think about adding them to the Open Irish Directory that James mentions above.

AFAIK, it’s not possible to receive regular AM/FM radio signals using a wireless card – someone please correct me if I’m wrong.

As an aside, anyone interested in using radio waves as a data broadcast medium (such as daisychaining network cards (which can broadcast as well as receive!) to create blanket wifi) might like to check out http://del.icio.us/thoughtwax/fm for some links.
