[Olsr-users] OLSR Across Multiple Channel Ad-hoc Networks?

[Ben West]

I believe OpenWRT's restriction on not letting adhoc wireless interfaces
join bridges would also mean multiple wireless adhoc interface could not be
bridged together directly to share the same IP address, if that is
desired.  Traffic between such interfaces would have be routed explicitly
(i.e. each radio sits on its own IP subnet, OLSRd computes routes between
them), or you could create a VLAN and bridge the interfaces indirectly with
trelay.

As for Duncan's experience with broadcasting the same SSID on multiple
channels, that may have conflicted with the roaming function implemented in
whichever 802.11 chipsets were being used.   Clients seeing the same SSID
on different channels may try to roam freely between each AP, and the
behavior Duncan observed could have been those clients' roaming behavior as
implemented for adhoc.
