PREPARE DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT

1. Check out sources

  • Check out meraka trunk
  • Check out: OpenWRT Kamikaze
 $ cd ~
 $ svn checkout https://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk/ kamikaze/
 $ cd kamikaze/
 $ ./scripts/feeds update -a                 # Checkout the extra packages
 $ ./scripts/feeds install <name_1> <name_2> # Creates the symlinks for the packages you like to install
 $ make menuconfig                           # Select your target, packages and other options. Only select the packages you need.
 $ make world
 -->> OR -->>
  • Link to existing OpenWRT
  • Check out SVN version of coova-chilli

2. Configure OpenWRT

  • Read:
 http://wiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs/Packages
  • Get some stuff from source:
 cd package ; svn co http://dev.coova.org/svn/coova-ap/packages/kamikaze/coova-chilli ; cd ..
  • Run:
 ./scripts/feeds install libnetsnmp
  • Select packages:
 Base->pthread
 Administration->meraka-widgets
 libnetsnmp
 coova-chilli
 ./scripts/feeds install batmand
 ./scripts/feeds install batmand-adv
  • Edit: package/opkg/files/opkg.conf
 src packages http://l-cube.artifactual.org.za/~antoine/firmware/packages/mipsel


3. Build Everything

  • Run:
 make


INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION FOR LINKSYS WRT54G(L)

0. prepare router

  • Handy:
 nvram set boot_wait=on
 nvram commit
 wget http://l-cube.artifactual.org.za/~antoine/firmware/openwrt-brcm-2.4-squashfs.trx -O - | mtd -e linux -r write - linux
 opkg update
 opkg install snmpd ; ln -s ../init.d/snmpd S70snmpd

1. flash router

  • Run:
 wget http://l-cube.artifactual.org.za/~antoine/firmware/openwrt-brcm-2.4-squashfs.trx -O - | mtd -e linux -r write - linux

2.a. configure portal interface (when using wireless port for dev - DEPRECATE)

 uci delete network.lan.type
 uci set wireless.cfg03c014.network=wifi
  • Append: /etc/config/network
 config 'interface' 'wifi'
         option 'ifname' 'wl0'
  • Run:
 uci set dhcp.lan.ignore=1
 uci set wireless.wl0.disabled=0 
 uci set network.wifi.ifname=wl0
 uci set network.wifi.proto=static
 uci set network.wifi.ipaddr=0.0.0.0
 uci commit
 reboot
  • Test:
 echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
 iptables -I POSTROUTING -t nat -o eth0.0 -j MASQUERADE
  • Append: TODO
 echo "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" >> ???
 echo "iptables -I POSTROUTING -t nat -o eth0.0 -j MASQUERADE" >> ???


2.b. Configure router for B.A.T.M.A.N. (using lan port for dev)

  • Read:

 http://trac2.assembla.com/nightwing/browser/trunk/etc/config/batman
 http://trac2.assembla.com/nightwing/browser/trunk/etc/config/batman_mode
  • Run: (configure LAN interface)
 uci delete network.lan.type
 uci delete network.lan.gateway
 uci delete network.lan.dns
 uci set network.lan.ipaddr=192.168.1.1
 uci commit
  • Run: (temmporarily disable firewall so we can get in to the WAN interface from my own lan side)
 iptables --flush
  • Run: (OPTIONAL: configure WAN interface for a gateway mesh-node)
 uci set network.wan.proto=static
 uci set network.wan.ipaddr=192.168.20.200
 uci set network.wan.netmask=255.255.255.0
 uci set network.wan.dns=192.168.20.5

 uci set network.wifi.ifname=wl0
 uci set wireless.wl0.disabled=0
 uci set wireless.wl0.channel=5
 uci set wireless.cfg03c014.network=wifi
 uci set wireless.cfg03c014.mode=adhoc              # TODO - wtf is it with the numbers ?
 uci set wireless.cfg03c014.ssid=batman
 uci commit 
 reboot
  • Append: /etc/opkg.conf (for some reason libpthread has gone missing from master)
 src packages http://l-cube.artifactual.org.za/~antoine/firmware/packages/mipsel
  • Run: (install BATMAN)
 opkg update

 }
  • Edit: /etc/freeradius/users
 $INCLUDE users.chilli
 DEFAULT Auth-Type := Reject
         Reply-Message = "Login attempt failed.",
