[Click] Multi-radio routing protocol for WMN released

[Roberto Riggio]

Dear All,

we've released our implementation of a multi-radio routing protocol
for WMN at http://github.com/create-net/click-wing

The protocol is based on the roofnet code, so it is a DSR-like routing
protocol with link quality routing. Our implementation adds
support for multiple radio interfaces and for the WCETT metric.

The code is written for the development version of click from which
I plan to periodically pull the new commits.

The main changes to the mainline click involve the LinkTable and the
ARPTable elements and basically generalize the IPAddress element
by replacing it with an NodeAddress element which in time is composed
by and IPAddress and an integer which specify the wireless interface.
There is also some new code in LinkTable to implement the WCETT
metric.

The protocol can be compiled by using the --enable-wing option. After
running make && make install, you can use clickd script available
in ~/click/conf/clickd to start the mesh:

cd conf/wing/
./clickd start

The script assumes that you are running a system with either the
madwifi driver (tested) or the new mac80211 stack (tested only with
ath5k).

Hope that this is useful to the community.
