[Olsr-users] Help in mesh configuration

Hi Michel,

I used your default config on my two devices DevA and DevB. I just added the
"olsrd_txtinfo.so.0.1" section and in interface section, I only put "wlan0".

LoadPlugin "olsrd_txtinfo.so.0.1"
{
    PlParam     "Accept"   "127.0.0.1"
}

Before running the oslr, I bring up the wlan0 on both devices (see the
command below), ping it, both devices responded to each other.
iwconfig wlan0 essid mesh0 mode ad-hoc channel 1
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.13.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 (devA)
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.13.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 (devB)

Again, DevB is capable of reaching outside world because of eth0 - it has an
IP 192.168.1.168 and default gateway 192.168.1.1
Here is the routing table of DevB:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use
Iface
192.168.3.3     *               255.255.255.255 UH    2      0        0
wlan0
192.168.3.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0
wlan0
192.168.1.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
default         192.168.1.1     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

While DevA is not capable of reaching outside world.
Here is the routing table of DevA:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use
Iface
192.168.3.4     *               255.255.255.255 UH    2      0        0
wlan0
192.168.3.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0
wlan0

I have a follow up questions:
1. In my step-by-step procedures, did I miss something?. If I have a
mistake, could you correct it?
2. With regards to the kernel, are there any required modules?.


Regards,

john
