After spending a few years working on the Commotion Android project
(which used OLSRD, MANET, etc) we also found out the hard way... though
Hans from my team had a hand in the pull request to Android to support
adhoc, so who knows...

Otherwise, great article! I am most interested in using the Service
Discovery API as a bearer of small beacon/broadcast data - essentially
one-to-many lossy push status messages. This is what I did in the
Gilgamesh prototype app, and it seemed to mostly work (albeit the bar is
pretty low in that type of application).
