Beware also that babel does not support all "recent" channel configurations: https://wiki.freifunk.net/ideas "Making diversity routing work better In the absence of explicit diversity routing information supplied by the protocol, the z3 algorithm assumes that a given route is interfering, even if the interface over which a route is learned is obviously not (usbnet), or probably not (ethernet). Diversity routing also does not take into account (presently) the number of ways channels can be combined in the various wifi standards. HT20 covers 4 channels, HT40, 8, HT80, up to 2 sets of 4 channels, and so on. Tasks will be to: Add support for HT20, HT40, and HT80 channels. Add support for the ethernet/usbnet case."

Instead of explicitly seeking to sanction the patentability of software, they are now seeking to create a central European patent court, which would establish and enforce patentability rules in their favor, without any possibility of correction by competing courts or democratically elected legislators." _______________________________________________ Babel-users mailing list Babel-users@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/babel-users
