[Olsr-users] Encryption in ad-hoc network using Openwrt+OLSR

[Ben West]

Sorry for being ambiguous.  My experience has been that either of these
package selections ...

A. wpad
B. wpa_supplicant & hostapd, which are complimentary

... enable IBSS-RSN WPA encryption.  Selecting all 3, i.e. wpad,
wpa_supplicant, and hostapd, cause conflicts.  Also, I think hostapd +
wpa_supplicant is possibly slated for obsolescence at some point (even
though these packages are all basically invoking bits from the same hostapd
tarball).

I've been using the wpad package with encryption=psk2+aes w/o problem on
r38xxx revisions of OpenWRT AA and higher.

The Commotion folks are actually using wpad_mini, patched to include
IBSS_RSN.  That works fine, too, and I can share the patch if you don't
mind cluttering your build tree.
