This code will get check into OpenWRT. Then anyone who downloads
OpenWRT will have support for the AWM002.

make menuconfig
Target system - Ralink
Subtarget - Rt3050/rt5350
Target - AsiaRF AWM002

be sure and enable the feeds and turn on luci or you won't have a web interface
save the config

do a make

in bin/ramips there will be two binaries - 4MB and 8MB which you can
load into the board using the Ralink u-boot. Luci doesn't fit into the
4MB image.  You'd have to strip some things out to make it fit, much
easier just to use 8MB flash.

802.11s should work but I haven't tried it.  802.11s can only mesh
together similar wifi devices.

BATMAN meshing
http://www.open-mesh.org/projects/open-mesh/wiki

This is the mesh I'd like to use. But to make it work the chipset has
to support simultaneous  AP and Ad-Hoc mode.  That'd the bit that is
missing from the Ralink drivers that is in the AtherOS drivers.

For example you could have 100 meshed wifi nodes scattered around a
building. Then say you wired five or six together randomly with
Ethernet.  BATMAN can transparently route over those Ethernet links.
802.11s is going to route the entire path over the radio links.

Of course I am simplifying this explanation and you could make subnets
out of the 11s network and use Ethernet to route between them.
