[MLB-WIRELESS] Generic SSID?

[Tim Hogard]

Re: seamless romaing...
It comes down to two issues:
1) is the netwrok large enough to support romaing?
2) is it useful to have a unique id for a node when hunting for them
from var away.

At this time the answer to the 1st question is no 
giving nodes a node name that can be found in the node database
means its helpful when doing long links so at this poing I don't
see any advantage for having everyone use the same ssid.
