I haven't seen anyone mention this, so I'm going to go ahead and announce it
on here...

Go check it out.  I've been playing with it for a little while, and it's
actually made a large diff on stuff.

>From their site:

"Frottle (Freenet throttle) is an open source GNU GPL project to control
traffic on wireless networks. Such control eliminates the common hidden-node
effect even on large scale wireless networks. Frottle is currently only
available for Linux wireless gateways using iptables firewalls, with plans
to develop a windows client in the future.

Frottle works by scheduling the traffic of each client, using a master node
to co-ordinate actions. This eliminates collisions, and prevents clients
with stronger signals from receiving bandwidth bias.

Frottle has been developed and tested on the large community wireless
network of WaFreeNet. We have found running frottle has given us a
significant improvment in the network usability. Testing results will be
documented here as time permits."
