The two locations where you can find some information on the IEEE 802.11 ESS Mesh Study Group are 
http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/11/ and
http://www.802wirelessworld.com. The second is where the recent documents are. If you register at the 802wirelessword site, login, click on 802.11 and then on documents (you must log in first), you can get the following files:
11-04-0054-02-0mes-par-ieee-802-11-ess-mesh.doc - proposed ESS Mes TG charter
11-04-0056-01-0mes-five-criteria-ieee-802-11-ess-mesh.doc - proposed ESS Mes TG justification
11-04-0110-02-0mes-MESH-SG-January-2004-Minutes.doc - minutes of January ESS Mesh SG meeting

Where can I get information on the ESS Mesh activity?

The four address format is currently rarely used in 802.11 but will
probably be used by the new ESS Mesh activity in 802.11 which is
expected to be 802.11s. This activity is pretty much aimed at a
standardizing a layer 2+epsilon mesh of relatively limited size.
You might connect such meshes together with a layer 3 / MANET
protocol.

Thanks,
Donald

Since the 802.11 mac header has address fields for sender, transmitter,
receiver and destination, why aren't ad-hoc routing protocols based upon
this seemingly built-in faciity for multihop routing?  Each receving node
would simply have to change the rx address to the next hop.
