What happens when there's a s/w update? Does everyone have to manually flash their nodes with new bios?

The BIOS for wifi boards, the linux stuff on the Pi, etc.

Yes, this is something that we need to think about.
We can create an interface that the node owner can access locally that will allow them to update and check for updates?
Or you can write the new version onto the SD card on the Raspberry Pi.

Is it possible to get OpenWRT running on the Pi so that an SD card can be used to update both the Pi and wifi boards at the same time? Also, if there are lots of 'unmanned' nodes (as per discussion in other thread) in random places how will they be updated?
Pushing updates via interwebs will be unreliable as authorities can play around with BGP routing and inject their own "updates". Maybe unmanned nodes could update from nearby nodes (but again, how to prevent someone pretending to be a node in order to distribute dodgy updates...)?

Not really , as the device with OpenWRT with does the networking and the Pi runs the LAMP webserver. Tried to put all on the Pi, but it couldn't handle the load. Using Hash's for updates could help validate the authenticity of updates.

^^ Yep, as it is linux we can just update as you would normally do. Shell into the device and apt-get update , apt-get upgrade.
