You are right about the 2 remarks on diversity, the code needs to be
adapted to handle 802.11AC, and how it minimize channel interference,
especially nowadays with using multiple channels at once.

For the wired link case, I am surprised babel considers it "interfering"!

On this topic, I wanted to BAN hoping on the same channel, as this is
a really bad feature of wifi mesh.

At some point, I should find some time to install a proper outdoor
testbed somewhere to try that kind of configuration.

I have tried to simulate that with hwmod kernel module, but did not go very far.

"In July 2005, after several failed attempts to legalise software
patents in Europe, the patent establishment changed its strategy.
Instead of explicitly seeking to sanction the patentability of
software, they are now seeking to create a central European patent
court, which would establish and enforce patentability rules in their
favor, without any possibility of correction by competing courts or
democratically elected legislators."
