Hi!
The trade-off is that only devices with atheros
chipsets would be able to
connect to the mesh. This, to me, is not a good trade-off.
This is a good question. Because sometimes having other chipsets in the
ad-hoc network could influence the network to behave worse. Is it really
so problematic to require Atheros chipset? You would need ath5k/9k
drivers anyway so that you can have both ad-hoc+multiple SSIDs at the
same time. Do you know of other wireless chipsets which allow that with
open source drivers? (I do not, but I am really asking. Because this is
for me one reason why I think going only Atheros might be OK. Because
even other solutions you cannot do.)
If we get to a point where our routing tables or
babeld traffic is getting
to be too much then that is a good day and we'll have a large mesh with
enough resources to throw at this problem.
Exactly! :-) First you need a network, to have a problems with the
network. :-)
