Today I've been able to exchange packets between three nodes using the following network topology: node1 <-> node2 <-> node3. With the currently committed code it's now possible to send packets from node1 to node3 via node2. Other mesh topologies will be tested in the future. I've created a wiki page that's still under construction but should be able to help you setup your wireless mesh: http://wiki.freebsd.org/WifiMesh 802.11s is interesting both to companies who want to create wide range wireless networks and also to home users who would like to expand their wireless networks. They can now start using the FreeBSD operating system to fullfil their needs. The project is still unfinished and has some rough edges, though. If you have any questions, dont hesitate asking. This project is being sponsored by The FreeBSD Foundation. Thanks, -- Rui Paulo
