[WLANware] Fwd: Interest in developing software for mesh networks

[Moritz Warning]

From the software perspective, it is the amount of different software and settings that needs interact in the correct way.
Someone building a firmware needs to compile OpenWrt, include the right programs, iptables, different configuration files. In case of Freifunk, also setup a server infrastructure. That is a lot of knowledge needed.

A good entry point might be to extend/update the web interface (LuCI) to allow the setup of mesh networks.
