[Voyage-linux] Re: ad-hoc network assist

[John Schultz]

What I am trying to accomplish (besides changing the hostname on my server)
is a mesh network with a separate backhual. The primary interface will use
802.11g/n and the backhual will use 802.11a. I definately need wep/eap
encription on the backhual (256bits if possible) and this needs to be omni
directional meaning and node can connect to it (which is the nature of
mesh). I will also be using OLSRD and possibly hostap.

Thanks again.
