support for user-space mesh routing daemons (olsr, batman, ...)

[Daniel Golle <daniel golle gmail com>]

i just had the idea to start hacking on networkmanager to support olsr 
as this would enable e.g. ubuntu users to participate in freifunk 
networks in a more user-friendly way. out-of-the-box support for open 
mesh network infrastructures would be a big advantage for both, the 
linux-newby and the freifunk-newby, and probably give a significant 
boost to both communities.
can anyone quickly approximate the effort and possible sketch a way to 
implement a plugin which basically runs olrsd after connecting to an 
802.11 Ad-Hoc network with special settings (i.e. preconfigured settings 
like no_beacons, Channel 10, ESSID olsr.freifunk.net)?

thank you all!
