AFIK, if you wanna keep TCP connections, you need a routing daemon
capable of doing that. If you wanna roam with some windoze or osx
laptops, i would look for OLSRD (wich is included in Voyage/Debian).
If you only have Linux, i would go for B.A.T.M.A.N (wich is in Debian
now, as well :-). I'm personally using batmand-exp_0.3.
If you wanna see, how roaming can work with that, 
have a look here:
