Heya Bhanu,

It's a wiki.  Make the change :)  If we don't like it, we'll change it
back.  But we probably won't.

You might make a link to Rob's book:
http://wndw.net/download.html

Read a bit about olsr and ad-hoc networking.  Here are some references:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OLSR
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hoc_mode
http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/tutorials/article.php/1451421
http://www.okfn.org/wsfii/wiki/WirelessNetworkAccess
http://seattle.washingtonwireless.org/index.cgi/OlsrExperiments

Follow the links.  Tell us how to do it.  Give us examples.  Take it
to the field.  Run experiments.  Invite us.  Come to hack nights.

Cheers,

C.J.
