I have two Linksys WRT54Gl 1.1 And I need to mount a Mesh Network with OLSR protocol, and after mount a VPN. (…) How I will mount a VPN? What's better OpenVPN, OpenSwam or other?
I never worked with OpenSwan, but you should have a look at the latest Freifunk Firmware "classic" 1.7.4: http://download.berlin.freifunk.net/ipkg/_g+gl/
OLSR, OpenVPN and a self-explanatory GUI is already included. You can run an OpenVPN-client or even a server on the router. Setting up the mesh network works out of the box, you just need to assign an IP-Address (out of the same network) to the WRT-boxes.
How I Know if the Olsr Protocol is running?
As long as the web interface shows OLSR-information, the daemon is running. Have a look at the status page: http://%5Brouter ip or hostname]/cgi-bin-status.html The other router should be visible as "neighbor" device.
Or look for the olsrd-process, i.e.:
root@2-64-kuze:~# ps axu | grep olsrd 902 root 404 S olsrd -f /var/etc/olsrd-ipv6.conf -d 0 13902 root 1004 S olsrd -f /var/etc/olsrd.conf -d 0 28167 root 268 S grep olsrd
(two processes are running)
