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).
