Has anyone tried to replace the linksysy router with a raspberry pi. At some point the linksys may be hard to come by...73

It would probably be best to wait for the Broadband-Hamnet version of the WRT-54G software before trying to do Pi.

Due to bigendian issues, it might not be possible to do a Pi version compatible to the current HSMM.   It might work now, but Broadband-hamnet should remove the bigendian compatability issue. 

Our mesh is based on OpenWRT.  OpenWRT on the Pi systems is "in the very early stage."

Mesh on the Pi is a very exciting possibility.

I'm not part of the development team, so take what I say with a grain of salt. I'm also easily confused.

Raspberry Pi is little Endian, just like the WRT54G. OLSRd that's available via 'apt-get' isn't the most stable version I've seen. I compiled the old secure plugin and it does run but it's just not the most reliable software. I am suspecting the compilation from source code may need some tweaks to the Makefile. BTW, the problem with OLSR's secure plugin was that the old version was not putting various bytes in the correct network order before sending out the packet. You can get nodes with the same byte-sex as the WRT54G to communicate iff you stayed with the old version of the secure plugin. -Rusty-
