This is a GNOME panel applet for using OLSR mesh networks. It gives you a simple menu to connect to mesh networks, displays the current status of the OLSR mesh, and gives detailed status and debugging info from olsrd.
It works on Unity, GNOME 2, GNOME 3, XFCE, and MATE. It might also work on KDE.
If you are using Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, or any other Debian-derivative, you can install Commotion by downloading all .deb packages located at https://downloads.commotionwireless.net/linux, and installing them with:
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
If you encounter any dependency errors during this process, simply run:
apt-get install -f
to resolve the problems, and then run the original dpkg command once again.
If you encounter any problems or wish to request features, please add them to our issue tracker:

If you are on a non-Debian-derivitive GNU/Linux distro, then you'll need to install this manually. We are looking for contributions of packaging to make this easy for people to do.
Check the debian/control file for a list of standard libraries that are
required. Here are the other libraries needed:
