@jwildeboer @paoloredaelli oh, that's neat, I wasn't aware of that! So it didn't use the 11s implementation in mac80211 in the Linux kernel? Oh wait, back then there wasn't even mac80211 yet, I guess.
Did the Marvel chip use some extra firmware for that? Or was it burned into the chip, with no option to update the algorithm?
That now makes me wonder, if the firmware for Qualcomm and Mediatek Wifi chips were OpenSource / reverse engineered if they could be used similarly.

Quite some years ago, we brought the #OLPC AKA the 100$ laptop to Rwanda [1].@paoloredaelli @jwildeboer some years ago mesh networking in phones was a no-go, because it would drain their battery too quickly. Lately I was very surprised to see a Gl.inet XE300 travel router last for 8 hours on its integrated 5000mAh battery with a #Freifunk firmware with #11s + #batman_adv (and no user traffic). So maybe portable 24/7 mesh networking devices in your pocket or bag is on the table again these days.
I'm wondering what #OLPC's experience with 11s and battery life was.
