[OLSR-users] Debug 1 required to work?

[Andreas Tønnesen]

Hi,

First of all, I have not done too much testing with the WRT54G so you
guys that have been playing a lot with this device might have some
better ideas about this.
The problem you mention have been reported before. I have never
experienced it myself though. The problems I've had with the WRT54G is
that SDTOUT seems to hang in my telnet console after I've ran olsrd for
a while(using OpenWrt)... but thats no major problem.
I've been using binaries of the 0.4.4 version that I have cross-compiled
myself. I suggest you trying this, or that the package maintainers
update to 0.4.4.
 From the next release(0.4.5 which i _hope_ to have out by the end of
next week) I'll include ARM(iPaq/Zaurus) and MIPS(WRT54G) binaries in
the main package for the convenience of people using these systems. But
ofcause, I encourage the use of package systems such as ipkg.
