I updated the 802.11Ext model based on the new patch, fixed a small bug in the satellite code, and created a new release candidate (RC2) for ns-allinone-2.34 and ns-2.34 packages: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=149743 I plan to make these the official releases on Wednesday unless other issues arise. - Tom
