I don't think that in the case of p2p links the absence of ad-hoc mode
is a major issue, because even in the scenario of 1 master and several
slaves, the topology of the backbone doesn't change that often. You can
always hook a 2.4 GHz mesh device next to the p2p link. And I don't know
if virtual AP makes sense for p2p devices either - you want the
bandwidth on the backbone, and usually not share it with clients... but
maybe I'm missing some use cases.

Hi All,
Thanks for the tips. I'm actually planning to deploy a couple
Ubiquiti 5.8GHz radios this week, a Rocket M and a Nanostation M5, to
try things out.
The goal is to build with these a small backbone mesh (~10 nodes) to
supply wired uplinks to 2.4GHz mesh devices, i.e. gateways for
WasabiNet mesh. I only plan to have exclusively my own 5.8Ghz radios
participate in the backbone mesh; actual end users would still connect
at 2.4GHz.
Are there more details on the limitations of mesh topology with the
current AirOS+OLSR firmware, in the absence of adhoc/adhemo? The
screenshots below do suggest you do have a functioning mesh with
gateway(s)/repeaters.

Also, I happened to find recent mention of Virtual AP support in AirOS
v5.3b2 on the Ubiquiti forum:

Ben,
equinox in Graz did some work to get OLSR support into the
Ubiquiti AirOS and even integrate OLSR configuration with the
AirOS UI...
To add to this - this allows us to use the very cool AirView
Spectrum Analyzer scanner which is part of AirOS.
The downside of course is that not everything is 100% open source
here.
Well, mostly FOSS at least.
Another sidenote: at the wireless summit in the hacklab we found
out that the speed test of AirOS was done from within a kernel
module, so... the speed that you get on user space will differ
from this of course.
Thanks equinox (Christian) :)
Best,
a.
