[WLANware] Hi I'm new to this mailing list

Hi Marek ,

Thanks for your help !
I am aware of FEC for different protocols and related methods , ARQ
mechanisms for stop and wait and cumulative ACK etc. and fragmentation
substantially which i studied about from a recent networking course .
I am also catching up with C network programming and socket and
client/server linux programming .
The main issue was the BATMAN part , so its good that explicit
knowledge of that isnt required .
Could you please send me the link to the source code  ?
Also some teaser task or user manual so that i can get more familiar ?
I am really looking forward to taking up this project as i want to
contribute to the network community !
