I have two Linksys WRT54Gl 1.1 And I need to mount a Mesh Network with OLSR protocol, and after mount a VPN. (…) How I will mount a VPN? What's better OpenVPN, OpenSwam or other? I never worked with OpenSwan, but you should have a look at the latest Freifunk Firmware "classic" 1.7.4: http://download.berlin.freifunk.net/ipkg/_g+gl/
OLSR, OpenVPN and a self-explanatory GUI is already included. You can run an OpenVPN-client or even a server on the router. Setting up the mesh network works out of the box, you just need to assign an IP-Address (out of the same network) to the WRT-boxes.
How I Know if the Olsr Protocol is running? As long as the web interface shows OLSR-information, the daemon is running. Have a look at the status page: http://[router ip or hostname]/cgi-bin-status.html The other router should be visible as "neighbor" device.
Or look for the olsrd-process, i.e.: root@2-64-kuze:~# ps axu | grep olsrd 902 root 404 S olsrd -f /var/etc/olsrd-ipv6.conf -d 0 13902 root 1004 S olsrd -f /var/etc/olsrd.conf -d 0 28167 root 268 S grep olsrd (two processes are running) best regards, // melle -- xmpp: melle@jabber.ccc.de passion: http://mellenthin.de F489 2C4F E8C2 9A15 DBCB mission: http://freifunk-potsdam.de 127C 81B6 FDC3 7C1A FF85 pubkey: http://mellenthin.de/key.txt
