Hi all,

Well....I have been working with BBHN v1.0 for the past months and had figured out how to integrate DD-WRT OLSR mesh nodes into our network alongside the BBHN mesh nodes running v1.0. While I still had a few bugs to work out (like hostnames and OLSR config pages on the mesh) they worked quite well and played nicely with BBHN v1.0. This morning I test loaded V1.1 on my main mesh router and immediately broke my access to the DD-WRT mesh routers.

My first thought was that OLSR Secure had been reinstated in this version, so I logged in to turn that back off. My SSID is still set for BroadbandHamnet-v1 (instead of the new default -v2). However, there is obviously something more that makes it incompatible, as they still failed to talk to each other anymore.

So, I guess this begs a couple questions. What else has changed that would break the compatibility with v1.0? I am also curious if anyone has given thought to creating a version of firmware that would fit on the newer WRT54 and other routers with limited space? DD-WRT opened up a HUGE variety of router options for running mesh networks....and now that compatibility is broken again.
