1) Presently the link I put in in the conference room (babel-lecture)
is on backhauled  channel 36 and 11 for the ap, HT20. It is natted off
from the main net. If you want to assign some 10 space or suggest
something different back there?

2) I would imagine that most laptops here have 5ghz capabillity,
perhaps we could dedicate another 5ghz channel for conference use, and
agree to keep the rest clear for testers? 40? 44?

I suggested using 161 and 165  for this:
http://battlemesh-test-docs.readthedocs.org/v8/3-the-mesh-of-death-adversity.html
- and 1 and 11. perhaps  6 and 11?

What are the other tests going to use?
