Hi,
first question: I wondered whether there was a debian package of batman ?
up to now there is no debain package available. Our primary targets are embedded devices and small mobile computers. Therefore the debian integration is not our top priority. But feel free to do something about that. ;-)
and if freinfunk package is openwrt compatible.
The precompiled binary package should be compatible but the web gui is probably not. At 23C3 I talked to the OpenWRT maintainers and they tend to integrate batman into their trunk in the near future.

Hi, everyone. This is my first post and congratulations to start b.a.t.m.a.n ML, though a little late ; )
I am so interested in meshlinux. Can I make any question? - Is meshlinux built on something well-known distribution, like freifunk on openwrt? - Does it depend on specific architecture and/or board, mips-arm-broadcom-la-la-la? - Does it have a package manegement system, like ipkg? - it seems b.a.t.m.a.n. takes account of multi wireless module/interface, does meshlinux support multi radio? http://www.google.co.jp/search?hl=ja&q=multi+radio&btnG=Google+%E6%A...
Anyway, I'm so ready to see her(him?) ; )
Best regards,

Hello Kazuki -
I am so interested in meshlinux. Can I make any question?
- Is meshlinux built on something well-known distribution, like
freifunk on openwrt?
Meshlinux is targeted at the re-use of PC hardware for wireless routers. Currently it is based on Slackware. At the moment Meshlinux is nothing fancy. The philosophy behind Meshlinux is KISS, stability and flexibility. No webinterface, no fancy package management - yet. But b.a.t.m.a.n., bridge-utils, quagga (RIP, BGP, OSPF v2 and v3...) up-to-date OLSRD with fisheye & ETX, apache, nmap, ncftp, proftp, rsync, horst, ff-trace, serial terminal, openvpn etc. It installs from a bootable CD to a harddrive within approximately 2 minutes on a Pentium III. I'll make an image for CF-Cards also - so you could use it with a WRAP-Board or Soekris. There will be 3 versions - one with complete compiling/building environment (including kernel-sources) for HD-install or a chroot environment on your Desktop so you can compile/build anything that you think is missing (like the newest SVN-checkout of a driver or a special patch), and two stripped-down ones - one for HD install and the CF-Image.
The recommended wifi-cards of today for Linux are using the Atheros chipset. If you really want to have bandwidth you need a powerful CPU for these cards. A 200 MHz Mips-CPU will give you a maximum throughput of 1.28 MByte/sec over a direct link (tested with Netgear WGT634U). The same cards can do ~ 3 MByte/sec without turbo-mode on a faster host CPU.
If you want bandwidth and more than one interface you will be much better off with a router based on a PC and PCI-cards. Of course it will be quite bulky and consume more power than a little embedded device. Meshlinux may be a good choice for a core-router or server (http, ftp, sip, icecast ... you name it) for local content. Administrators of such routers may not miss a webinterface.

I would recommend a more recent distrib named VoyageLinux, which is based on debian and has a package mgt system.
Putting olsr and batman as a package in the debian distribution would help to just do apt-get install.
I use it to boot on cheap 128MB USB keys. CF+IDE is too rare and much more expensive.
It does not have a web interface, but it is on the way I think.

Hi Dako,
first question: I wondered whether there was a debian package of batman
I think, you have to /make/ it yourself - at this point...(?)
and if freinfunk package is openwrt compatible.
* The FreiFunkFirmware (FFF) [1] _is_ a *highly customized* OpenWRT with OLSR and a WebUI to get things run for unskilled users. * 'freifunk-batman' is (only) a FFF-PlugIn to configure B.A.T.M.A.N. [2] in a 'migration' (side-by-side) enviroment with olsr.
