I haven't seen anyone mention this, so I'm going to go ahead and announce it on here...
http://frottle.sourceforge.net/ 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."
