Hi,
I'm using BATMAN routing algorithm on an kamikaze based firwmare, realizing ROBIN (Routing Batman Inside) MESH: a 0-config, QoS capable mesh software which targets Atheros AP51 devices such as Meraki Mini or Fonera.
As soon as flashed, mini-routers act as mesh-network appliances: all you need is power-on the devices and connect almost one of these to a xDSL DHCP capable router; users in the mesh cloud can associate with mesh nodes APs (open and WPA-PSK protected ones) and start browsing. ROBIN comes also with a precofigured NoDogSplash release offering firewalling and throttling.
If you want test the ROBIN download it (images and docs) from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ponte2/ the tarball contains the kernel (vmlinux.gz .lzma) and the root filesystem (jffs2-64k) needed for flashing Meraki Mini and Fonera.
Many thanks to all for suggestions, reports and bug divering!
