[liberationtech] Setting up an experimental testbed for wireless mesh network

[Christian Huldt]

You might get better answers on the openwrt mailing list...

However, my 2 cents:
1) you could set up a linux virtual machine on your laptop, or ssh into
one of the nodes
2) between to laptops connected to the mesh? using e.g. vlc?
3) I have to direct you to the test results at http://battlemesh.org or
their mailing list.
