So it is nearly impossible to build a working mesh-network (olsr/batman) with mac80211 based wifi-drivers. (because all protocols use packetloss as index for link-cost/etx, but it has to be measured the same way in the hole network, not with changing rates...) http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg49049.html When can we expect some work on "mrate" for mac80211? Should i open a bounty somewhere? bye, Bastian / weimarnetz.de
