There was some documentation once, but not sure if it was public, and I cannot find it now anyway. At any rate, I'd be happy to contribute as well -- I have some notes sitting around here, but it'd be a good exercise for me to rebuild it all from scratch to validate things. The gist is: 1. Pick an android development environment and get it building for your device (including a modular kernel). Cyanogenmod is probably the easiest starting point. 2. Build the wireless drivers using backports modules. You'd want to get wcn36xx from the github repo as I believe not everything is upstream. 3. Rebuild wpa_supplicant with a version using the mesh patches. 4. Modify the android boot scripts to load the backports modules. I don't believe there is a way to hook mesh into the standard android UI at this point; my testing was scripted with adb calling wpa_s directly. -- Bob Copeland %% www.bobcopeland.com _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.open80211s.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devel
