[Olsr-users] OLSR GUI is corrupting my IP settings ?

[Bhat, Ishwara]

Thanks. 

 

I will see if I can debug it and pass on any findings. If possible even
a patch.

 

Regards,

Ishwar

Hi,

 

I am trying OLSR on Dell 630 laptop and downloaded Broadcom linux driver
for the same. I am running Fedora core 9.

 

I have an ad hoc network of 2 laptops, one with windows and the second
with Linux. When I begin, I am able to ping the windows laptop from
Linux. Once I run OLSRd, even then it works. 

 

But now I start running GUI (built from  olsrd/gui/linux-gtk ).  Now if
I ping windows laptop it says host unreachable. 

 

olsrd/gui/linux-gtk does not (yet) understand the LQ extensions AFAIK.





After 1 hour when I tried, it started pining normally.

 

OLSRd GUI seems to corrupt something ?  

 

thanks for the report. 

As said, since that was not used to my knowledge in the
funkfeuer/freifunk networks where most current developers are situated,
probably not so much attention was given to 

the secure plugin as well as the linux-gtk GUI. The linux GTK GUI is
missing the LQ parsing code.

 

We usually take different packages for visualizing the network:
dot_draw, http_info or txtinfo plugin. These are usually more practical
although for sure not yet perfect.

I hope the explanation helped.

 

Patches are of course - as always welcome

 

(BTW: mille gracias Alina!! - just reading thru the v6 patch now... (and
bernd was faster ) :))) 

 

a.
