[Commotion-dev] ad-hoc in android

[Dan Staples]

I'm glad to see that's been submitted!  Currently, does implementing 
ad-hoc mode such as in MeshTether (and Serval has their own 
implementation too, no?) require root?  I imagine once ad-hoc is 
supported in android itself root will not be required, which will 
greatly expand its accessibility for both developers and users.
