How to Use?

Make sure your wireless device is working and appropriate drivers are in place.
Connect to ad-hoc network (need root privileges)
$ ifconfig wlan0 down
$ iwconfig wlan0 essid "DAMN"
$ iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc
$ ifconfig wlan0 up
$ dhclient wlan0 -4
       or
$ dhcpcd wlan0      (based on dhcp client you have)
Note:- 'wlan0' is the wireless interface here

Now run olsrd on that interface
$ olsrd -i wlan0


Your olsrd is up and running, editing your routing tables :)
