I think you are using a narrower definition of a mesh than I do. To me a
mesh is any wireless network with more than one unreliable routing
point, doesn't matter what technology they use...

So in my case I have several point to point links, several AP/multipoint
links, a bunch of wired networks, some places connected by carrier
pigeon...

So what makes ad-hoc define "mesh" in your case?
