easy:
get the packages as described in http://kamikaze.openwrt.org/docs/openwrt.html#x1-390002
cd packages/net/olsrd/
edit the Makefile, change the version string
go back to the main openwrt directory
make package/olsrd/compile V=99


The V=99 is there to see all the compilations steps of make.
 
Tell me if it worked for you.

yes, please upgrade to 0.5.6-r4 and tell us if it works better for you.
There have been many bugfixes and improvements notably by Henning and Markus Kittenberger.

OLSRv2 is going to be a new RFC . So that is not yet implemented in the olsr.org source code basis.

no, it is still there.
And HNA s will be simply done differently in OLSRv2 :) But now we are talking about the future.
