Ärende: meshing with binkd
==========================
Hey Alexey!

I have a healthy start towards wireless fidonet mesh points using iw amd binkd.
 So far I prefer open mesh since I can successfully set the usb wireless
dongles to 150mbs speeds on 2.4GHz by forcing the bitrate as well as setting
the bandwidth to 40MHz instead of the usual 20MHz width.  Also this method
keeps the excellent range I get with these particular dongles.  Currently I am
using (from lsusb ->) "0cf3:9271 Qualcomm Atheros Communications AR9271
802.11n" usb dongles.  Excellent range with these adapters as well as excellent
kernel support with the native ath9k_htc linux kernel driver.  Definetly better
then the RT3070 jobbers that is for sure although with those 300mbs should have
been possible if it hadn't been for the lack of suitable support for the
rt2800usb driver.  It used to be good and at one time a neighbour and I managed
to connect two mesh points at 300mbs.  Those were the days.  :::sigh:::

It is most definetly doable.

Life is good,
