[Olsr-dev] MeshTether test release - olsrd for Android

[Sven-Ola Tuecke]

Hey,

does work partly on Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 (P6800) stock ROM. Need to switch 
off wpa_supplicant though. Main oops: aquires additional IP via DHCP and 
starts meshing on that (instead using the fixed IP entered in UI).
