OK, some more questions for the list (I'm trying to come up to speed<br>
as quickly as possible):<br>
<br>
* Any thoughts on whether OLSR is suitable for power-limited mobile<br>
devices? I've heard some claim that AODV-based schemes would be more<br>
appropriate.<br>
* Is setting wifi to adhoc mode<br>
(<a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=82" target="_blank">http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=82</a>) the only reason<br>
for needing to be root? Or are there other aspects which aren't yet<br>
supported by the NDK?<br>
* What sorts of information are exported by OLSR which could be the<br>
basis of a visualization? Has anyone thought about visualizing the<br>
OLSR mesh and/or connection status?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
