Hi all,
I am interested in setting up a wireless mesh network using a collection of
BBBs (and possibly other devices). Does anyone have experience setting up
a wireless mesh network using BBB?
I am not really interested in a so-called "wireless distribution system"
that is used to extend an SSID across a wide area using wireless mesh
networking. I am much more interested in setting up a network of
cooperating nodes that talk with each other (and to the internet via a
gateway/mesh portal connected simultaneously to the internet and the mesh).
In particular, I'm interested in:
* What distro and kernel are you using?
* Ideally this would be with one of RCNs Debian images, but if not,
I'm interested in what you might have used.
* If you have done something with a Linux based system other than a
BBB, I'd like to know about that too.
* What mesh routing protocol was used? Batman, Babel/AHCP, HWMP, OLSR,
...
* Steps to configure the mesh network and gateway.
* Did you use 802.11s? If so, presumably using the 802.11s support in
the kernel?
* WiFi chipset that was used (presumably supporting mesh mode). SOFTMAC
or HARDMAC?
I have researched the topic fairly extensively and can probably set
something up via trial and error myself. Prior to diving into that, I
wanted to see if anyone has already done some work with wireless mesh
networking and BBB (or something else) and would be willing to share their
experience and knowledge!
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
ba
