[Olsr-users] Re : Probleme of network topology discovery

[Aaron Kaplan]

Well, we are entering the fields of (at least for me) speculation and  
non confirmed experiences.
I got the impression after talking with many people that there have  
been repeated problems with atheros *in adhoc mode* in linux
(it works fine in managed mode or as AP).

Intel seems to be pretty good since they were very helpful with linux  
drivers.
Maybe someone here on this list has more experience and is willing to  
share it concerning drivers.
I just know that the Vienna network works mostly on broadcom chips  
which come with a binary driver. It is not open, but it works very  
stable.
That I can say out of experience. The sensitivity of the broadcom  
(linksys etc) is not that good. But stability is ok.
