Don't worry - this (APs in infrastructure mode) is what is happening
on the ground mostly. Still, it's not good as it kills the
mesh-to-the-school scheme which is one of the key technical goals.

> The "kids under the tree scenario" (i.e. the mesh)

Yes - that works, but it's not the whole picture.
