It isn't clear to me from reading your proposal whether or not you
are aware of this:
http://www.open80211s.org/
Were you planning to implement mesh networking code? Or some sort
of network management code that would configure/enable/disable
mesh vs. STA vs. IBSS modes? Or simply something that did manual
configurations and then did testing/measurements?
Obviously the 1st option is the least useful in general.
The 2nd option might be interesting especially in cooperation
with NetworkManager or a similar project. The third option is
the most academic. Alas, it might also make for the most boring
paper/presentation... :-)
Hth...good luck!
John
