This would be really interesting. :) > This wouldn't be easy if we didn't have infrastructure but we already > do. Our grid consists of 400 nodes with 2 wireless cards each and 3 > ethernet ports (one for control) -- > http://orbit-lab.org/wiki/Tutorial/Testbed. 90% of our nodes use the > atheros 5213 chipset and the rest ipw2200s.

I'll discuss this in the rt2x00 team, and see if we can donate some hardware. Ivo
