[Commotion-dev] Boilerplate Android code pushed

Hi Commoters,

I've been doing some preliminary work on getting olsrd to work in a
user-friendly way on Android. The first challenge is creating an ad-hoc
interface. Google doesn't support this, and doesn't look like they will
support ad-hoc because they feel WiFi Direct is functions as a
replacement. See bug 82:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=82

I pushed some code to the redux branch of the commotion-android
repository. It's half code, half comments describing what will need to
be done to automate the entire process of creating an ad-hoc interface
the Android Way.

It doesn't address current olsrd incompatibility with some Android wifi
drivers, namely the dhd driver. To date, I've only been able to get
olsrd to run stably on devices using the bcm4325 driver.

Check it out, if you're interested:

git clone -b redux git://git.chambana.net/commotion/commotion-android

The master branch is still an Android Wifi Tether overlay, but will get
olsrd up and running on bcm4325 (and other non-dhd?) devices. Some
testing would be appreciated here. It would be great to start probing
which devices olsrd works on and which don't.

Thanks!
Brian
