A friend turned me on to this some time ago. I have yet to set up any mesh networks but it does look VERY promising. http://hsmm-mesh.org/
[...] It's also hams only, so I'd advise caution if you don't have your ticket but want to experiment with it, new nodes that aren't recognized will draw a lot of attention.
I don't think that's a problem, since consumer grade routers don't have enough power to require a licensed operator. High gain antennas may be a gray area here, but since these would be pointed at participating reconfigured routers I don't think that would raise any eyebrows.
One of the gotchas from their FAQ: "You can't use Wi-Fi to connect to a mesh node from your computer, netbook, smart phone or other wireless device." Back to hardwiring.
Yup, needs an ethernet connection for user access. Forwarding a mesh network router to a conventionally configured WiFi router is not a problem I have looked at yet, but I believe it should be easy.
