But if the issue doesn't get brought up early it will come back to haunt us
in the future. It's something that needs to be considered from the
beginning.

I like the idea of the Open-Mesh products, but I feel they are overpriced
for the value provided. I also think that they might not fit into the
OpenWireless campaign since we are talking about reusing existing routerAPs
not replacing them. It could be possible to take some design cues from the
functionality of the OM[1|2]P devices, but currently
OM/Batman-ng/Ro.B.Inare currently being run on limited selections of
hardware. Example: I'd
have to do serious software hacking to run mesh software on a WRT54G. This
is within my skills given enough time and patience, but the average AP
owner, no way.
