			==Upgrading LinkSys to Mesh Node==
			Using your novell account logon to '''tera2'''; go to directory '''/home/lmboweni/''' and copy file '''freifunk-ipv6-en-1.6.22-11March2009.bin''' and upgrade your Linksys.

			Features in this version of the firmware:
			--Router will only work in an IPv6 backbone(d) network.
			--Peer-to-peer applications are handled by an 4over6 application
			--OLSR running is set to version 6

			===Making changes to the running system===

			Changes to the running system can be made through '''nvram''' settings or directing editing of the configuration files.

			'''Switching off the 4-over-6 application'''
			$vi /etc/olsrd.conf.temp
			remove or comment out the line '''''@@hna6ip46address@@'''''
			$cd /etc/init.d
			$sh -x S74over6
			$reboot

 ===Booting from Compact Flash===
-This is the Redboot script used so far:
+Kamikaze doesn't support Compact flash. So I got the latest source code branch (8.09) from Openwrt:
-  >> load -r -m disk -b 0x01600000 hda1:zImage
+I've created (using cfdisk /dev/sdb) four partitions on the 128MB of 32MB each.

			====Passing kernel commands at boot time====
			By default the kernel is passed the following commands:
			root=/dev/mtdblock2 rootfstype=squashfs,jffs2 noinitrd console=ttyS0,115200 init=/etc/preinit
			The above parameters are specified in the '''kernel_menuconfig" option of make, so do:
			$make kernel_menuconfig //then select the '''Boot options''' option
