<div dir="ltr"><br clear="all"><div><div>Hi All,</div><div><br></div><div><i>The biggest foreseen problems have smallest solutions :)</i></div><div><br></div><div>@Teco: Yes, the problem was on a level earlier not later, that you foresaw! </div>
<div>@ Henning, Thijs: Thank you for your support. Your suggestions hit my fundamental brain but powerful. Changed to:</div><div><br></div><div>IP 192.168.1.X Netmask 255.255.0.0 => Computes Broadcast to 192.168.255.255. Node(s) can listen on all subnets and I tested this with OLSR too with a router on a separate subnet.</div>
<div><br></div><div>@Teco: Since I work with static addresses, I had to change the silent process which was accessing the wlan0 in the background (/etc/default/ifplugd). I got to know this via going into 'monitor mode'. The driver (Edimax) fails to start airodump-ng. I tried this via TP-Link WR* dongle (huge but ok), works! armon-ng shows the process that accesses wlan0.</div>
<div><br></div><div>As I read, ifplugd is a Linux daemon which will automatically configure your ethernet device when a cable is plugged in and automatically unconfigure it if the cable is pulled. This was being run for wlan0 too.</div>
<div><br></div><div>pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo cat /etc/default/ifplugd </div><div>INTERFACES="all"</div><div>HOTPLUG_INTERFACES="all"</div><div><br></div><div>remove "all" and keep "eth0". I may use eth0 for internet access. This will run process for eth0 interface alone.</div>
<div><br></div><div>So, these two were potential. When I do this both together Ad-Hoc works smooth!</div><div><br></div><div>Now, what I get are multiple (mobile) nodes with OLSR running on it on RPi's (with no TP-Link routers), with one hop (ping) (pure Adhoc) and two hops (with OLSR). Also tested routing via router's.. both seem good to go!</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thank you,</div><div>Shyam</div></div>
