Do not forget to set START_OLSRD=“yes” in /etc/default/olsrd. Then configure your wireless device, assuming its name is ipw use something like:
iwconfig ipw essid graz.funkfeuer.at iwconfig ipw ap 02:CA:FF:EE:BA:BE iwconfig ipw mode Ad-Hoc ifconfig ipw 10.12.23.$RANDOM_WERT ifconfig ipw netmask 255.255.0.0 broadcast 10.12.255.255 route add default gw 10.12.0.10
Starting olsrd via '/etc/init.d/olsrd start' should work then.
