[Babel-users] airos and babel

[Baptiste Jonglez]

Hi,

I did compile babeld for AirOS, but without the SDK, since the only
available version was an old one.

You can simply build the binary for OpenWRT, against the same architecture
(most probably ar71xx for Nanostation/Nanobridge/etc).  It doesn't work
out-of-the-box, as most dynamic libraries are different on AirOS.  The
trick is to change the build flags, to compile babeld statically.  I don't
have the exact flags anymore, sorry.

It worked; that being said, it's definitely not very useful, as the
network configuration of AirOS is not flexible enough for proper usage of
Babel.  Unless this changed, you basically have the choice between
bridging the wireless and wired interface, or NATing wireless towards
wired.  In any case, you can't even assign /32 IPv4 addresses on an
interface (at least using the offered configuration tools, you could
probably hack around that).

As far as I know, people using Babel on Ubiquiti hardware are running
OpenWRT.

Hope this helps,
Baptiste
