Anyone interested in Mesh networking might want to have a look at

        http://meshcom.com/en/products/meshdriver/

We have started to use the mesh driver (ok, on voyage linux). A port  
should not be difficult, especially the userland daemon. It's  
dependencies on Linux syscalls are minimal.

Starting it through linux emulation does not work (in my FreeBSD setup).

Meshcom says they are happy to look at the port when it is done.

Cheers,

Nick

P.S.: I am not affiliated to them other than that I am very impressed  
with the quality of the software.

Does it IEEE 802.20 compliant?

It's their own variation on AODV I believe.

People have been doing L3 mesh for years.  It has it's limitations.  We
already have 802.11s support which is the right way to go.  The only
limitation right now is the lack of crypto (D4.0 should have something
usable but adding support will take a while).
