[Battlemesh] Call for talks organization, anyone? (and other open jobs!)

[Pau]

Wibed has been developed between Guido, Nico, Roger, me and some other
folks. So we should feel comfortable using it. However in case we find
some problems we can always go back to the WBM firmware of the last
year.

It uses batman-adv for the management network to pull the web
controller and send/get the needed information to perform the
experiments. This network is apart from the testbed, so if we want to
test batman-adv we have to create a new isolated network of it, using
a different WiFi interface or VLAN tags.

802.11s can be used (just loading the kernel module) but the problem
is the same of always, it has its own link-layer so it cannot be
executed at the same time of the AD-HOC protocols.

About the experiments, we should prepare in advance some scripts to be
run once the deployment is finished. We can reuse some from the last
battle-mesh.

Cheers
