History

Bunde was founded by W.D. Ammermann. In 1887, W.D. moved to Minnesota from Bunde, Germany, which was in the Rheiderland District. He originally wanted to name the township in which he settled after Bunde, Germany, but it didn't stick. So he instead named the township after the district in Germany where he was from. He then built a church and named it Bunde Christian Reformed Church.[2]

gollark: 802.11s is an open-source standard for connecting wireless devices without having to set up infrastructure. It operates on Layer 2 and makes sure that all nodes can see each other on a bridged Layer 2 network (as if they were all plugged into a switch). Any Layer 3 infrastructure will work on top of this. An IP router and DHCP clients will work well. More sophisticated infrastructure can be implemented depending upon the use case. (eg Batman, Bird, OLSR etc.)
gollark: No.
