-I started coding in the mid-70's hacking my ideas into programmable calculators (SR-52, SR-56and a SC/MP based microprocessor system, got addicted and never stopped since then. Just the hardware is different today. +

-After developing from microprocessor system to networks and internet, I got bored by all those gigahertzs and terabytes and more and more my way leads me back to smaller systems like microcontrollers and embedded systems. +

-    - Using OpenWrt/LEDE and De(bi|vu)an systems. +  * Currently using only targeting OpenWrt/LEDE. Later the radius shall be extended to include at least De(bi|vu)an systems too
-    - Try to get the ZSUN'USB networking up and/or find out how to turn a ZSUN into a usb-serial PPP server to use it as handy "consummer mesh dongle". That way the ZSUN'radio would only do 802.11s instead of needing to bridge two radio signals on one interface while being nailed to one channel by the mesh+  * Find some dirt cheap hardware helping to get neighbours connected. E.g. a USB dongle sized system bridging/routing the mesh by USB networking or USB serial PPP to a user'PC

 + 
 +==== Status ==== 
 +  * Installed ''wpad-mini'' plus ''authsae'' on Fujitsu Siemens Futro S200 family thin clients and F2FS extrooted TL-WR703Ns and they communicate. 
 +  * They need the right password to join the mesh, so it looks like AuthSAE works. 
 +  * [[https://forum.lede-project.org/t/starting-with-mesh-networks/5692/46?u=yeti|Others in the thread mentioned above report success using `wpad-mesh` only.]] So far I had no luck reproducing this in my test setups. 
 + 
 +==== TODO ==== 
 +  * Find a working ''wpad-mesh'' to drop ''authsae''
 +  * Is there meshy infrastructure somewhere?\\ Distributed DNS, DHCP? 
 +      * DNS —▶ https://forum.lede-project.org/t/kadnode-a-decentralized-dns-system/11523 
 +  * Is there a way to scan for mesh IDs (SSIDs)? 
 +  * Which other OSes support... 
 +    * ..."open" 802.11s meshs? 
 +    * ..."closed" 802.11s meshs?
