1) I'm confused.  I downloaded code and flashed my WRT54GS and it comes up with SSID

   "BroadbandHamnet-v2",   I also got the git files for my Raspberry PI, but it comes up with SSID

   "HSMM-MESH".   Which is it to be?

2) Besides the web setup on the WRT54GS, by default is there any other access to the WRT via

    telnet and/or ssh?

3) I've been working for a few years on real mesh networks (ie 802.11S).   In a nutshell you take

   any wireless interface (lets say wlan0) and using various iwconfig/iw commands you add a new

   mesh interface on top of the wlan0 interface.   I have 3 PI computers that talk together over

   a mesh, and when I switch all to "BroadbandHamnet-v2" on channel 1, they see each other BUT

   don't see the WRT box :-(  The 4th pi which came up on HSMM-MESH and modified to the same

   SSID also doesn't see the working mesh.

1) BroadbandHamnet-v2
2) Yes. Most notable one: SSH/2222
3) The RPi is not supported by the team. There were some changes and re-implementations that can be found on changelog/documentation on the side pannel. The Non-BBHN developer who worked on the code has yet to update it. You are right that you should be able to just change the SSID to match that of the m2m network, but what is going on in the configuration level of supported BBHN firmware is a little different.

3) Here's a couple ticklers on what needs upgraded should someone have the interest to get involved: A) Take a look at http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/mesh.olsr specific to olsr_mod_secure plugin used in the BBHN firmware. The RPi implementation would need to use the same 'key' before OLSR will talk to another node. B) configure to use the 'ffeth' LQ configuration (not compatible with the other-older techniques). ...and more.
