I thought this was kind of neat: Ubuntu 8.10 (released on October 30th) indeed ships with mesh: andrey at safari:~$ cat /etc/issue Ubuntu 8.10 \n \l andrey at safari:~$ uname -r 2.6.27-7-generic andrey at safari:~$ grep MESH /boot/config-2.6.27-7-generic CONFIG_MAC80211_MESH=y ...the b43 and zd1211rw drivers should be mesh-capable in that kernel. -Andrey
