[Olsr-users] Testing DLEP plugin without WiFi

[Henning Rogge]

Yes,

that is exactly the reason for the layer-2 generator plugin.. to test DLEP
(by using it as a data source for the DLEP-radio plugin).

You could also use the "layer2 config" plugin (quite new, I need to write a
documentation on the wiki for it) to fill the layer-2 database on the
DLEP-radio with data set by the configuration file.
