Hi, I'm busy trying to port mobilemesh (www.mitre.org/tech_transfer/mobilemesh) to FreeBSD and run into a problem. The way mobilemesh works is that you use a subnet for the wireless network and then it use host routes to route packets to hosts that are not directly visible. Say for instance that you have hosts 1, 2 and 3 on the 10.0.0.0/24 subnet and machines 1 and 3 can't directly see each other, but both can see host 2, then the mobilemesh routing protocol will try to add a host route to the other machine through host 2. On host 1 it will do something like "route add 10.0.0.3 10.0.0.2" and on host 3 it will do "route add 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2". This seems to work on Linux (where mobilemesh was developed), but I have been unable to get it to work on FreeBSD. I have also tried various ways with and without -interface and -iface, but none works. Is it supposed to be possible in FreeBSD and if so does someone know how? Thanks.
