Yep.  OSPF as is may not be appropriate for wireless mesh.  WG needs
to consider this.

Running code is too seldom available when the IETF rushes forward
these days.  A reference implementation would be great.  I know which
code base you have in mind.

I haven't checked cerowrt to see how much configuration is required of
OSPF.  If it is quagga, then a router-id has to be configured and each
interface has to have OSPF explicitly enabled all with a Cisco style
line oriented config.
