[liberationtech] Setting up an experimental testbed for wireless mesh network

[Seamus Tuohy]

Hey Sailash,

This community (listserv) does not really have the expertiese or experience
you will need to get answers on this issue. Here are a couple communities
that I go to with OpenWRT and mesh networking questions.  Try asking them,
and if  you get no answers (very unlikely)  send me an e-mail (you can find
my main email through my PGP fingerprint below) and I can see if I can't
point you to another channel.

Here are also some static resources that might be helpful in figuring out
what is the problem.

BattleMesh Repo:
The battlemesh repo has a ton of great info in it. If you are just looking
to figure out what is wrong, then you mostly just want their test scripts.

Here is an abandoned testing project I was working on back in the day. Not
all the tests will work on batman (as I ran OLSR) but some may be useful

Best,
