So one idea I was thinking about was that of using P2P to enable phones to grant a central box tethering capabilities to their 3G connection, while the central box acts as a regular AP. This can be useful on trains to enable users to share their internet and aggregate their connections together. So the project would consist of the utilities and hooks to get these boxen easily deployed anywhere. Since cell phones tend to beacon on the same channel, channel 6, the central box would only be able to aggregate more than 3G connection by having different phones establish a P2P connection on the same channel. Not sure how many connections this limits us to then. It would also be nice to get the AP to function as a regular AP on something other than channel 6 so I guess we'd need the central box to do P2P with multichannel operation. That support likely won't hit upstream for a while.. so hrmm.. Just an idea, maybe next year.
I would simply post it. Till -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
