You could try commotion-mesh-applet, its very easy to try if your are Ubuntu,
Mint or Debian.  It automates the whole process.  I have it working on a few
machines, and it won't mess with your olsrd config or network config
otherwise, and you can just remove it if it doesn't work.  It also plays nice
NetworkManager, indeed it requires it.

Here are the Ubuntu packages:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:guardianproject/commotion
  (fingerprint: F50E ADDD 2234 F563)
sudo apt-get install commotion-mesh-applet

Or direct download here:
https://launchpad.net/~guardianproject/+archive/commotion/+packages

Here's the source code:
