2011-05-26: Flashed new firmware using batman-adv for inter-nodal communications rather than WDS, otherwise should function as before. --RussellSenior
- 2010-10-15: New node gear plugged in. Additional work of mounting the repeater to the wall is pending. For now, the enclosure is ziptied to an iron railing.

Notes
In order to implement the WDS link, substantial deviations were made to the normal AcctonCab configurations. Ask RussellSenior for details. Note also, the two devices are *NOT* interchangable. Each one is configured for its particular role.
