Sure, Babel works over any link layer.  However, for a mesh it is
natural to use symmetric (decentralised) link technologies -- wired
Ethernet is fine, 802.11 in ad-hoc mode is fine, while 802.11 in the
standard AP/STA configuration creates a number of interesting issues
(such as which of your nodes will be in the AP configuration and which
will be STAs, and so on).

It might be the case that your particular topology will work fine in an
AP/STA configuration, but doing that will reduce flexibility quite
a lot.

Sorry.

Be aware that it's ugly, buggy, incomprehensible code.  You have been warned.
