repeating at layer2 using 802.1d is quite different than mesh routing, which typically runs at layer-3 (AODV, as used in the Locust distribution does).

Speaking of this, do people have a good comparison/contrast between using straight 802.11 in the classic community access-point fashion vs using 802.11 in the Locust mesh fashion? I'm trying to figure out what the mesh network's value add is supposed to be? Shouldn't I be able to configure a classic access point to act as a repeater?

Hi: Just joined and wanted to say, hi.

Any suggestion for the most compelling argument for community based wireless networks out there? I'd like a general overview and article to start with.

for ZDTV.  You can find it at:
