ORBIT-USER: Ad-hoc and WDS mode

[Haris Kremo]

With respect to crosstalk:

Although the radios on the sandboxes are connected by wires some
leakage still exists. The proximity of the sandboxes (for instance sb1
and sb2 are next to each other) causes CSMA to kick in. Some
experimenters even reported observing traffic from the sandboxes on
the main grid. What you observed as well might be interference from
the main grid. Hence, you want to force ESSID setting on the nodes you
are using.

Since we share the building there is also interference in 2.4-2.5GHz
spectrum from the access points over which we do not have control. For
that reason we did not bother to turn off Winlab access point Winmain,
which is on channel 6. We encourage users to utilize 5GHz band for
grid experiments.
