Mesh Quest

[Brian DeLacey]

Hi Javier,

Thanks for your helpful explanations. I'll go through these in detail, but
wanted to ask one quick further clarification.

When I do iwconfig, the displayed results for my mesh0 interface have a
"Mode:" attribute displayed as "Auto". Is that correct? Or is that "Mode:"
supposed to be "Mesh"?

If I try "iwconfig mesh0 mode mesh" it gives me an error, with invalid
argument for mesh. (If I do "iwconfig mesh0 mode ad-hoc" it will change the
mode to "Ad-Hoc".)

Brian
