We have to be careful not to create a "hidden transmitter" scenario in IBSS
mode.  If I was in a position to run a major routing node, I'd consider
running an AP on a separate channel in BSS mode for client access, so they
don't clobber distant linking nodes that they can't hear...

Don't want to create a higher speed form of the rabble that exists on packet
radio. ;-)
