* Naming: do we agree to name the networks 'Mesh Network [channel name]' even though they are no mesh networks but in order to keep 'backwards compatibility'?Please don't. Besides given two identically named sets of "networks" on XO-1, it will mislead people into thinking a) these are interoperable with Mesh networks and b) they work like Mesh networks (i.e. do packet forwarding).
* Connection sharing: So far the connections created are 'link-local' connections. What is the plan for sharing an internet connection over an adhoc network?Given that most of the time the gateway only has a single "official" IPv4 address, NAT is required anyway. NetworkManager doesn't support IPv6 "connection sharing" yet [1], so we can't support it either. An interesting option might be to use a bridge on the gateway. Will DHCP be used for connecting to existing ad-hoc networks?
