<br>
Actually is anyone using any kind of auto-configuration of the AdHoc MESH<br>
IP address or is everyone (like me) using static addressing?<br>
<br>
At least I control the boxes I'm putting out so I can pick the IP<br>
addresses - but how to you manage it in a community Freifunk type system?<br>
