[Mesh] Non-wifi mesh links

[John Atkeson]

Nick, can you read this?  You are also on mesh at gathman.org yes?

Where we left off was the thread below.

Stuart, when I ran this:
sudo batctl if add en01

I got this response:
Error - interface does not exist: en01

I guess I took the instructions too literally.  What sort of value should
go in place of en01?

I apologize for my slow progress here.  Part of it is that networking is a
big learning curve for me, but also 'real life' is kinda overly complicated
right now.

I've been reading the OpenWRT wiki lately just because it's easy to do on a
phone during downtimes...
