The best solution IMHO is route weighting based on SNR. This was
discussed 1-2 weeks ago. But the biggest problem facing everybody on
Linux seems to be that different wireless drivers do not implement all
the iw* wireless tools extensions.

Even if SNR is not available, would it be possible to weigh a link based
on its perceived flakiness? That is, the number of times a route is
dropped in a unit time. Higher the number, lower its weight.

Wish I had more time to implement the SNR solution though.

Amit
