<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you for your replies and advice.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Henning was right, it was the LINUX firewall that caused the OLSR to be not working. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now I am able to get 4 LINUX machines getting OLSR messages.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>However, I need to use a wireless access point to help the 4 LINUX machine "associated" to each other first, then the OLSR is able to see the 4 LINUX machines. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Without using the wireless access point, the 4 LINUX machine cannot "see" each other using the "ad-hoc" mode of the wireless cards.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any idea what went wrong?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks in advance.</DIV>

<DIV>in theroy any linux version/flavour u like,..<BR></DIV>

<DIV>a bit following is true:</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>do not use the newest kernels</DIV>
<DIV>the more minimalistic distro, the better,..<BR>(the more used distro, the better)<BR></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>regarding wireless card, any should do,..</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>but if u think you have problems with wireless card, try to get olsrd working with an ethernet link first,..</DIV>

<DIV>p.s. a 100% sure supported linux would be openwrt *G (which runs on x86 aswell)</DIV>

<DIV>Hi all,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>May I know what version of LINUX and type of wireless cards/modules anyone is using that works with OLSRd successfully?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have tried Lucent Technologies, PROMIX, Broadcom and Cisco cards/modules with Fedora Core 12, all of them did not managed to get the OLSRd working.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am thinking of changing the LINUX version but before I do that, I will like to know what version of LINUX can the OLSRd work on.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks in advance.</DIV>
