[Olsr-dev] Building on Android

[Sven-Ola Tuecke]

Hi Mitar,

one more. The android settings applet and GUI ignores IBSS/Ad Hoc networks 
(does not show detected IBSS ESSIDs nor let you join into IBSS). Just in case 
you have not coped with this, here are some tips (rooted mobile is 
precondition):

- the networking stack is controlled by wpa-supplicant which runs below the 
GUI. That background daemon can handle IBSS if you instruct it to do so. E.g. 
needs a special scanning mode to search & join an IBSS. If wpa_supplicant 
joins an IBSS, the GUI shows this but does not interfere. So it's possible to 
join an IBSS if you can convince wpa_supplicant to do that.

- There is a command line interface to interact with wpa_supplicant named 
"wpa_cli". wpa_cli uses a named pipe to communicate. On my samsung galaxy, the 
pipe is located somewhere under /data/misc/wifi which may be changed on your 
mobile phone to other location.

[blabla. I stop here, because while googling I stumble across a page that 
nicely summarizes this here: http://www.olsr.org/?q=olsr_on_android
