Does anyone know where I can find ampr-ripd compiled to run on an AREDN node ( Atheros 71xx)?

Thanks to M1BKF for providing the ampr-ripd bin that runs on the air router.

I am really interested to know how you got an AMPRNet gateway configured on your AirRouter. I am going to be purchasing an AirRouter HP fo my shack node and would be grateful if you could give me some pointers on how to set this up. Maybe as a starter question, what did you have to change in the AMPR wiki instructions for OpenWRT to get this running next to AREDN?

> One question is how to connect the mesh to the ampr net?
Amprnet *is* a mesh network, so the technology is no different between the two, only the physical transport may be. With that said you in a sense answered your own question; just assign the bridge a 44-net IP from your block and route it out over the mesh.
One thing to keep in mind, you want your routers hidden as best as possible with rfc-1918 space networks which is how commercial hot-spot ISPs do it this way crackers can't get access in. You can still DHCP 44-net IPs out to the end points.
A simpler way to try and vision it would be say you have a mesh router in each room of your house. They tie into your gateway. You then segment off subnets from your 44-net block to each router for them to give DHCP IPs to the end clients. Now take that out of the house and install it in the field.

I also wonder what benefit this would provide an AREDN node.if the internet is down, then ampr is down.regards
