We are going to create a mesh network of about half a dozen access points on 15th April at HBCSE campus with the help of Fred Pook, a Netherlands based hacker/enterpruener who works in the suburbs in Goa. If any of you are intersted to join in this hands-on workshop please come to HBCSE on 15th about 10am. It is a day long workshop. We expect to finish making the mesh by evening. It is very likely that Fred Pook will also join us on the 16th meeting at the same venue.

Dear Nagarjun,
I'm not sure if i can make it on that day, but if i can, i will definitely try to do it. If i can make it, i wanted to know if we could try something different at the same time.
I have seen some interesting projects out there, which should allow certain WIFI cards to be configured in linux to act as access points. Maybe, if we could get our hands on a laptop and one of these cards(Or even one with an inbuilt ipw2200, i think it may be supported), can we try adding a linux based Soft-AP to the mesh. It will be an interesting exercise, And also may bring up the possibility of some day building a truly *mobile* mesh, who knows.... ;)
Am i the only one who dreams of a *Hell's Angles(tm)* style OSS bike convoy, with every 15th bike acting as a AP, and every pillion rider surfing the net... just the imaginations of a demented mind...
What do you guys think?
Also, for some reason, my posts appear to be getting rejected from the list. Maybee my address is embargoesd....
