We are going OT, but it is worth an answer. :)
As far as I know there is nothing for multi-hop routing on 802.15.4 in the =
linux
kernel. So I think you need to implement something yourself.
You can either start a port of RPL (e.g. from Contiki) or you can start an
experiment and try to adapt batman-adv to run on top of those interfaces.
I would say that the second is a really juicy topic.
If you do so, we could also think about having a mixed mesh network, part w=
hich
runs low power and part which runs common 802.11.
