[Commotion-dev] convincing google to support ad-hoc mode

[Alexander Chemeris]

I heard that this mode on Android will support only a very specific
protocol (don't recall its name) and will not be able to support
something like olsr without rooting. Do you know whether they have
changed their mind and plan to make something more universal?

I think we should support this effort as much as possible, since it'll make mesh on Android work a lot easier.  One concern in Google is whether the hardware universally supports ad-hoc mode, or whether Android would have to make special cases for the hardware that does not support ad-hoc mode.
