so, it turns out one can run a second udhcpd daemon on a Freifunk mesh node, obviating having to install dnsmasq on a low-resource system! I now have a usable 3-node mesh, in which each gives out DHCP addresses on a different /24 subnet of 10/8.
at this point, anybody can walk by and connect to untermesh0, and if they're nerdly enough to check what IP they were given, they can connect to the router's webpage and see the Freifunk introduction.
