Howto for using Network via OLSRD @ Realraum

All the relevant packages are available in Debian/unstable (not in testing and stable yet), get them via:

# aptitude install olsrd olsrd-plugin olsrd-gui

Relevant parts of /etc/olsrd/olsrd.conf:

DebugLevel      0
Interface "ipw"
{
    HelloInterval               6.0
    HelloValidityTime           90.0
    TcInterval                  3.0
    TcValidityTime              300.0
    MidInterval                 15.0
    MidValidityTime             300.0
    HnaInterval                 15.0
    HnaValidityTime             90.0

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.
