I'm also testing 11s from time to time. To this point the biggest
disappointment was not being able to get high rate in 11n mode.
Basically even for a simple STA-AP configuration i get higher application
rates in 11g mode then in 11n mode.

Thanks. BTW, if you installed also the wing_extra package, you should
also have a new daemon in /etc/init.d/ called wing. This daemon checks
if Internet connectivity is available over the wan interface and basically
execute automatically the commands that you put in meshup.
I have checked this only on alix and cambria boards.
