Rui,

Great news!

You might want to add references to OSLRD (http://www.olsr.org/) and 
OSLR-PAA (http://sourceforge.net/projects/olsr-paa/) to your page. We've 
succesfully set-up a mesh network (ad-hoc) with auto-IP address assignment, 
and routing provided networks over the mesh (using paa) to a default 
gateway (using dyn_gw module (after making it work on FreeBSD).
