I just set up 3 Ubiquiti M5 devices as mesh nodes running OpenWRT 10.0.3-rc4 + OLSR 0.6 meshing, and with 802.11s layer 2 meshing. Working at 20Mbit/s between repeater and gateway, somewhat less when further than 1 hop away from gateway. I've apparently not been able to get HT modes (i.e. 40MHz channels) to work, which may be a limitation of ath9k driver in OpenWRT Backfire. <div>
