Hi,
I tried the RO.B.IN firmware on 4 nodes and the symptoms are the same, it's basically unusable.
when did you try this ? I helped them to fix some of these problems, so I know it should be quite stable now.
Does anybody have a great success story to tell me with this hardware (FON/Accton with Atheros) and mesh networks? B.A.T.M.A.N seems to be the only thing stable in my setup after all :)
There are a bunch of thing you should pay attention to. the last item which made Robin much more stable was:
iwconfig ath0 rate 5.5M
Try this.
Greetings, Marek
