Yeah, 802.11x is fine for the big stuff but how about the little stuff. I 
like the ideal of being involved in making an alternative mesh but what do 
you put on the end of it? Wireless has a lot more uses in the home than 
connecting to the internet.

Anyone had a look at zigBee?
It's still a little out there ( kind of like Buetooth 3 years ago - 
integrated radio chips cheaper. but still unobtanium).

here are a couple of good intros:
