I think there's going to be 3 types of nodes in the network:

- those running BSS (hardware access point or software prism2)+ 
omni/panel to provide access to clients in a park/coffee 
shop/neighbors/any public place
- those running IBSS (*nix or windows box w/ pcmcia or pci card) + 
directional to link between other IBSS nodes, to form a backbone
- those who do both of the above at the same time

there is no right answer about what someone should run, any of the above 
3 will eventually help the network grow. someone may start out with just 
BSS client access, and eventually add a IBSS backbone link, and vice 
versa. what is really needed right now are people doing *anything*
