How to configure an Apple wireless laptop for the Scarborough Mesh

The mesh uses the Optimized Link State Routing protocol to relay messages across the network.

OLSR Mac OSX binaries are available here. However installing and configuring OLSR for Mac requires a lot of under-the-hood work with the Apple Unix layer.

If anyone has the skill and is able to help establish a stable config for OLSR on Apple, we shall certainly assist where we can. However we do not have the human resources to deploy Mac OLSR mesh-wide.

In addition, we envisage deployment of newer, better neighbour-to-neighbour routing protocols in the near future. Therefore we suggest that Mac users buy a Linksys router and cable into it.
