 802.11 is like adhoc mode but with optional forwarding if I am correct?

 I think that's right. I was able to get the mesh working with B.A.T.M.A.N. pretty easily so I never dug into the details.

 If you have BMan running then ensure you turn off 802.11 forwarding (else you making it do double the work)

 Yeah, I'll have to do some more packet dumps at some point to see what is really going on

It was all very much hacked together, so it's entirely possible there are inefficiencies like this in there. 😆
