ARAN: A Secure Routing Protocol for Ad Hoc Networks









Documentation > iPAQ Notes

If you plan to use arand with Familiar Linux on an iPAQ (http://familiar.handhelds.org), make sure the following ipkgs are installed:

  • iptables (not required but useful for testing)
  • iptables-modules (required. the netfilter kernel modules)
  • tun-modules (required.)
  • libssl (required.)
  • bash (required. You need this because familiar uses busybox starting with v0.6 and /bin/bash is just a link to /bin/busybox the script that runs arand deletes a route before arand runs and adds the route again when arand is stopped. If /bin/bash is a link to /bin/busybox and you terminate arand with a CTRL-C, the script will not continue executing and the route that was deleted before arand starts will not be added again. Therefore, make sure the bash ipkg is installed so you have the real bash.)
  • libcurses (required. necessary for bash)
  • ncurses-base (required. necessary for libcurses)
