I appreciate the feedback.  

I am a bit of a newbie to this so can anyone recommend a specific
make/model USB WiFi adapter for the raspberry pi that 802.11s 'works'
with from this list http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters ?  

Thanks,
K-

Hello Jason,

You're right with Atheros chips, they  work a lot better.

I havent seen a lot of problems with rt2800usb and the 3.3 and 3.10
kernel series, although i admit i haven't tested extensively. I do
recall having to disable powermanagement.

As to the powered USB hub, true, forgot to mention that. That is a
necessity.

Cheers,

Michel Stam
