If your looking for Wireless device with Quagga & OLSR, maybe StarOS (SIAM now) would be your answer. The support both routing protocol and have enough options to make good router but still have not finish their N driver (even the abg firmwares is still not 100% stable). Their also the sync option that is great (can change channel, channel width, country code, etc.without disconnecting the station).<div>

Hi All,<div><br></div><div>My apologies upfront if some of these are rank newbie questions.</div><div><br></div><div>I also realize this message harkens back to a long thread last month about patching Ubiquiti AirOS with OLSRd (before I subscribed), but I'm curious if anyone may have experience to share on current state of OLSR under AirOS vs. other dynamic routing schemes such as OSPF/Quagga.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I've described my experience testing the Funk Feuer-patched AirOS 5.2 images on 5GHz devices to this thread on the Ubiquiti forum. I posted there since I was curious about creating a hidden node situation with the testing.</div>

<div><a href="http://wiki.ninux.org/NanostationM5AirOSModOLSR" target="_blank">http://wiki.ninux.org/NanostationM5AirOSModOLSR</a></div><div><br></div><div>By manually specifying default routes b/w nodes (described in the <a href="http://ubnt.com" target="_blank">ubnt.com</a> thread above), I can indeed effect multi-hop paths, but I believe this effectively overrides the OLSR service. Is this presently the only option for multi-hop routing on AirOS?</div>
<div><br></div><div>I see there are already AirOS images patched with Quagga/OSPF, which I'm considering deploying in the mean time, as my intended mesh topology is quite simple.</div><div><a href="http://dren.dk/ubi.html" target="_blank">http://dren.dk/ubi.html</a></div>

<div>Is my understanding correct that, from a high level, one key feature which OSPF does not provide w.r.t to OLSR is multi-hop routing?</div>
<div><br></div><div>(P.S. My motivation to try out AirOS comes from difficulties running OpenWRT/madwifi firmware like Open-Mesh on Ubiquiti 2.4GHz devices. Madwifi operation seemed to be particularly spotty on devices like the Bullet2HP, suggesting Ubiquiti had incorporated driver/kernel tweaks into their SDK for speed and stability.)<br clear="all">
