I've put together a custom x86 Ubuntu live image with the components
needed to make voice calls over a Commotion mesh. This includes Serval,
OLSRd, OpenBTS, and Asterisk. When you boot into the image, you are
presented with a configuration wizard that asks you to select which GSM
hardware you have, and it will automatically configure the proper
transceiver driver and start everything up. Supported hardware includes
the Range RAD1 and the Ettus USRP1, USRP2, N200 series, B100 series, and
E100 series.

After running the wizard, you should be able to make calls between GSM
phones, and between Serval and GSM phones.

If anyone with GSM hardware could test this, that would be very helpful.
I haven't been able to do testing due to lack of hardware. The image is
hosted here:
http://files.commotionwireless.net/Commotion-OpenBTS-x86.iso. Just put
it on a USB drive with unetbootin or the tool of your choice, and boot
from that.

cheers,
Dan
