[Battlemesh] WBMv6 - Hardware / Sponsoring

[Xavier Carcelle]

Hi Bastian, hi wireless folks,

Thanks a lot for your proposition of hardware sponsorship and that
will help the organization of this hands-on event.
As you may know, we used 30+ fonera1 (and some fonera2) from my
personal collection (along with the tmplab collection) for the
previous WBM and I think that could be great to have a set of routers
(30-50) available for each event (ideally that can be updated or
changed for each event based on the needed hardware requirements).
>From the past events, the minimum requirements were :
*OpenWRT support (ideally recent Atheros SoC)
*external antenna connector
*"low" power consumption for battery-powered nodes
*USB/MMC/* support for external storage ?

Ideally those targeted routers could be available for the firmware
flashing team prior to the event to prepare the flashing of the nodes.

Cheers,

Xavier.
