Hello.

I am interested in olsrd. I noticed there is a windows version available as 
well.
There does not seam to have been any development since 7-26-04 (I very well
may be missing it). Anyone running the windows version? If so, does it run on
any interface (wired or wireless) or does it need certain hardware? How would
you rate your experience with it? I also see there is a Linksys WRT version.
I assume (but rather dislike to) that all OS ports of the same version work
together? Any known bugs, conflicts or other issues? Does olsrd run on any
other consumer gear (aside from a PC) or has ports to other embedded OSes?
I was looking at PC Engines WRAP and Soekris boards for full time AP's and
possibly user machines (windows mostly) as clients to said ap's with them only
becoming active if a AP goes off-line for some reason. How well (or does) olsr
work when you give it two wireless interface's? In example, you put a 11b and
11a card in 1 unit and wish for the 11a card to be the higher priority 
route to the
Internet. Does OLSR work fine or would it be best to combine BGP or OSPF with
it? I have many many questions but lacking hands on makes it hard to know what
to ask. I plan to obtain 4 or 5 WRT's and see what happens. Assuming you have a
WRT in use, How does it work for you and have/will you mix the windows version
in with them?
