### Wireless configuration
The next section is on how to set up the network interfaces to work with B.A.T.M.A.N the mesh networking protocol. It is more or less a summary of what's written [(here)](http://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/Batman-adv-openwrt-config)
`$ vi etc/config/wireless` and edit the wireless interface to look like this:
Dont forget to remove the line that disables wireless
```
config wifi-iface 'wmesh'
option device 'radio0'
option ifname 'adhoc0'
option network 'mesh'
option mode 'adhoc'
option ssid 'mesh'
option bssid '66:66:66:66:66:66'
```
Next up is `$ vi etc/config/wireless` where we add this interface:
```
config interface 'mesh'
option ifname 'adhoc0'
option mtu '1528'
option proto 'none'
```
Lastly we edit `$ /etc/config/batman-adv ` to tell it which interface to use.
```
config mesh 'bat0'
option interfaces 'adhoc0'
option 'aggregated_ogms'
option 'ap_isolation'
option [..]
```
`$ /etc/init.d/network restart` to make the changes take effect.
If you have set this up properly on more than one node, the nodes should be able to see each other. Test with `$ batctl -o`
Make sure that you have the same version of batctl and openwrt on all nodes you plan to use.
`$ uname -a && batctl -v ` to see the version information.
