I wrote up some stuff for this in response to a question on NOVA
Wireless; it currently exists only as a bunch of notes on paper. I guess
its time for me to find the notes and type it up...

The idea, briefly, was to build a large layer two network. An ISP would
provide connectivity to the Internet, and need consist of nothing more
than a machine with a 802.11b card. Through various magic, all routing
would be done at the MAC layer. A grand a glorified switch with hubs,
spokes, meshes, and a routing protocol designed for rapidly changing
networks between it all.

Time to start typing...
