I mean the clock in the 802.11 MAC sublayer. This defines the basis of
the timing synchronization function (TSF) which is a core part of
802.11. Without synchronized clocks, nodes cannot communicate.
I talked with one of the 802.11 experts I know. He's quite sure
that there should be no

He has no problem transmitting arbitrary packets at arbitrary
times and no problem receiving packets

The issue is that A and B are both hosting their own networks, they
are both beacon masters, spewing beacons based off their own clocks.
How is this any different than the mesh situation?
Exactly how the XO-1 mesh functions on this level is

Thus, properly done, the XO labled C might have either of:
a. wlan0 to reach A, and wlan1 to reach B (same hardware)
b. wlan0, from which wlan0_0 and wlan0_1 are instantiated

Another laptop C comes along
A C -- B
This laptop can see both of these independent laptops (each having
its independent network). It can join one or the other. It cannot
join both. Hence this XO can only communicate with A or B, but not
both (even

C can either talk with A, by finding the beacons, adjusting its own
clock to match. (at this point, any frames coming from B will be heard
as noise)
or it can adjust to B's clock, in order to speak to it (and everyone
else who's
