Very cool. 1) I spent some time this morning cleaning up and I hope vastly improved the document http://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/cerowrt/wiki/Mesh Let me know if that helps. 2) Some changes in openwrt in late october in the startup scripts and lua broke startup for AHCP. :( if the AHCPD process is not running after you configure it, then I have to come up with a fix, but it can be made to go with a one liner in /etc/rc.local and generating the 3 line ahcp.conf file I'll fix it for rc8 3) I discovered that txqueuelen 40 was less buggy than 37, and of late I've been working with some QFQ and SFQ based scripts that make much longer txqueuelens feasible, and even desirable. 4) Getting the first two nodes to work is hard. Getting a third much less so. It's really all the backward compatability cruft (DHCP, firewalling, nat notably) that's the real source of the problem... I can help on irc, but not til tuesday.
