# olsrd-adhoc-setup(1)

setup the wifi interface for meshing with olsrd

## NAME

olsrd-adhoc-setup - setup the wifi interface for meshing with olsrd

## SYNOPSIS

**olsrd-adhoc-setup** \[ **wifi interface** \] \[ **channel** \] \[ **SSID** \] \[ **BSSID** \]

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **olsrd-adhoc-setup** command.  In order to run **olsrd** to connect to a mesh network, the wifi interface needs to first be setup in adhoc mode with the correct settings and a usable IP address in order for your **olsrd** to start talking to the rest of the mesh.  This script automates that process.

## SEE ALSO

[**olsrd**(8)](/olsrd/8.md), **olsrd-conf**(5).\
