[Olsr-users] [OLSRD] adhoc network

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Very few Android 4.x support Adhoc out-of-box.  You can use a custom kernel,
or it might be possible with just a custom wpa_supplicant.

You might also be interested in the olsrd app for Android:

It won't help you with the low-level issues you're talking about, but it'll
manage connecting once you get adhoc working.  For info on custom kernels and
such, check out the SPAN project:
