[Olsr-users] Getting ad-hoc mode on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean

[Stephan Moczygemba]

Hi guys,

I try to setup OLSR on Android. However, I'm struggling with getting 
into ad-hoc mode on Android while following your HOWTO 
(http://www.olsr.org/?q=olsr_on_android). I've a Galaxy Nexus GT-I9250 
with rooted Jelly Bean 4.1.1.

First, there was no wpa_cli interface on my phone. I found a compiled 
version (0.6.10) and pushed it on my device. Then I ran into the already 
known "Selected interface 'sockets'. Could not connect to wpa_supplicant 
- re-trying"-problem. However, using wpa-cli without any parameters puts 
me into Interactive mode. Next, I follow steps 3 to 8, each command 
returning an "OK" message, but in the end I am stuck with "Association 
request to the driver failed". Now I kind of run out of ideas, so I 
would really appreciate any hint that could help me to proceed.

Here is my log:

 > add_network
1
 > set_network 1 mode 1
OK
 > set_network 1 ssid "abcdef"
OK
 > set_network 1 bssid a0:0b:ba:2e:2a:7d
OK
 > set_network 1 frequency 2457
OK
 > set_network 1 key_mgmt NONE
OK
 > enable_network 1
OK
 > ap_scan 1
OK
 > select_network 1
OK

What do I have to choose for the BSSID, just any random number? I put 
the mac address of the interface in use (wlan0).

Thanks,
Stephan
