Want to build a network for wireless access to all homes in a
residential community of about 80 homes. Looking for a good source of
hardware, software and instructional material. Thank you, in advance for
any information you may be able to provide.

hi,
since you are technically oriented, why dont you give the university of
urbana champaign wireless (ucwireless.com) project a shot?
you wont need any proprietary hardware other than old pcs to use as
access points. antennas you can buy from hyperlink or rflinx.
you can also use soekris boards.
you havent mentioned whether you are going to give away the service for
free or will it be a paid service.
OpenwRT is also a good project if you have Linksys wRT routers

O'reilly has a book titled specifically "Building Wireless Community
Networks": http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/wirelesscommnet2/ - it might
be a good shot.
