There was an article about them in New Scientist a few months back, they look 
like Epia VIA systems.  There's a good little intro to them at:

	http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT5073214560.html

which confirms they're mini-ITX boards and gives some of the history. It also 
says:

	With the MeshBox, what you have is a black box which you switch on and it
	configures itself either as a router, a gateway, or as a wireless mesh
	repeater. All configuration is automatic, but can be tweaked via the web at
	www.wiana.org.

Not quite sure what to make of WIANA (Wireless IANA), seems like they allocate 
addresses for peer-to-peer links from the 1.0.0.0/8 subnet and sign traffic 
(possibly using IPSEC).

Very odd..

cheers,
Chris
