Agreed. It needs to run the DHCP server on the wired LAN ports. That's the default setting. You can add one additional interface through the local config file. Which is what I had done.

Now I'm royally confused. Which interface does dnsmasq listen to, in the working mesh? From what Dr. Nagarjuna said, there was a parameter called `OLSR-DHCP'. I assumed that that corresponds to the OLSR interface. I assumed wrong it seems :s So if I'm wrong, I guess OLSR handles the `cascaded' DHCP requests properly with dnsmasq listening to the WLAN interface? > > There is provision. I did the last time.

We tried to replicate what u did but > could not. Well take a look at the init script /etc/init.d/udhcpd. There's a section towards the end where it populates the /etc/udhcpd.conf file with a here document. You'll see that it sources the file /etc/local.something at the end of the here document. This is the file where the manual configuration goes. In the udhcpd.conf, there comes up a comment saying `local settings go after this' or something. The sourced local file is reproduced there, right below the default config section. > afaik what u did was right but we were unable to repeat it.
