People are networking large areas all over the world (particularly developing countries) with WiFi + Batman or OLSR. Of course *if* WiMAX becomes: * Cheap * License-free * Supports Ad-Hoc networking (which it isn't, nothing of this tiny list can be affirmed) we can use BATMAN with it and maybe have a bit more fun than we already have with WiFi... I'd rather ask the good fairy in my dreams for more WiFi drivers that actually support ad-hoc mode. Particularly USB. Ralink rt73 would be one of my favorites... Maybe the good fairy is already subscribed to this mailing list?
