Hi<br><br>I&#39;ve read the readme on how to setup batman advanced and also the openwrt howto.<br>It looks great, and it looks like the way to go as roaming seem to be handled correctly.<br>I have some questions before I try to setup it.<br>
<br>Could it work on &quot;standard&quot; broadcom hardware like WRT54gl?<br>Do I need multi ssid hardware? only atheros?<br>What about the ahdemo mode? is it like adhoc?<br>If I want standard AP mode, must I create several ssid (1 ahdemo + 1 AP) then bridge bat0 to the AP ssid?<br>
<br>If I want to setup coova-chilli to drive the mesh (hotspot mesh), how could I ssh to the repeaters? Is some sort of VLAN supported? there would be 2 separate networks in the mesh, one for gateway to repeater communication, the other for the hotspot mesh. <br>
Or maybe would it be possible that repeaters use a specific dhcp server (not chilli) to get their ip addresses?<br>It looks that we can get the mac addresses of all repeaters. Can I use arp to get their IP?<br>You would say &quot;why ssh to the repeaters?&quot;, I don&#39;t know... Maybe for configuration/ monitoring...<br>
<br>Thanks<br><br>
