Hey I have a bit of a technical question (let me betray my ignorance a bit....)

I've set up one of the ubiquiti picostation nodes with the batman-adv configuration. It seems to be working as expected. It's broadcasting 2 ssids, one 'sudomesh' as an AP, and the other 'sudomesh-backchannel' as ad-hoc. I can connect to 'sudomesh' from a laptop and then connect to the internet.

The question I have is: Is there a way for me to ssh into the router in order to change configurations, etc? I pretty much followed the guide in the wiki by the letter, but I don't know where I would find the router itself in order to ssh in. I tried root@ the ipaddr set in /etc/config/network as option ipaddr. In the wiki that is 10.42.10.11, but no luck.


You have to plug into it with an ethernet cable, then make sure your network interface has an IP on the same subnet as 10.42.10.11, then ssh into it.

so e.g:

  sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager stop
  sudo ifconfig eth0 10.42.10.12 netmask 255.255.0.0 up
  ssh root@10.42.10.12

then when you're done:

  sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager start

and of course, as always, be careful you don't plug the PoE cable into your laptop!

Can anyone give me a clue?

Thanks,
