Turn-key Mesh Routing Access Point

IPSection writes "LocustWorld announces the release of MeshAP-05. This is a test release of a bootable CD which turns a single board computer or laptop into a mesh node and access point. Clients can sign on to the network, cells communicate to form a robust, dynamic, compressed and encrypted mesh network. This is a prototype release intended for the widest possible test. Feedback is encouraged." There are several interesting things on this site, actually -- check out the Swarm Chip.

Can you just imagine 300 Dorm students with their own ad-hoc p2p network? It's too bad that the site's /.-ed, but I think a working application for this would be p2p networking within close proximity like a large University where the majority of the 'web' would be located around dorms, but several 'access points' on the outside of the larger hubs could connect local residents. Possible extending the network across town.

I'd hate to be the only sap between two large dorms - you'd be the gateway and could say good-bye to any bandwidth for yourself.

Damnit! Get that site back on-line. I'd love to test ths sucker out.
