An inventory (posted to the list) would be fantastic!

The test isn't running anymore, afaik; it was a fair success IMO.  There
have been various discussions of P2P wifi links, and I'd love to see it
happen; I don't know the status of any of 'em.

I'm just trying to say that it doesn't make sense to have two APs
running that are both configured to be "the noisebridge AP".  The Ruckus
has been involved in most of our "OMG wifi unstable" incidents, merely
because it has been our "infrastructure" AP for the last few months.
Maybe it's the Ruckus's fault, maybe not.

They're both turned on.  I frankly have no idea whether we're routing
packets through both or not, nor what their configurations are.
