====== Wing for x86 desktop machines ======

This page describes how to build and run Wing on a generic x86 machine (e.g. your laptop). You will need a set a PCs each of them equipped with a WiFi card based on the Atheros chipset (you can find a list of supported devices [[http://madwifi-project.org/wiki/Compatibility|here]].
===== Setting up the development environment =====

The Wing implementation for Click is made available via [[http://github.com/create-net/click-wing|GitHub]] and can be fetched into a local directory called using the following command:

  git clone git@github.com:create-net/click-wing.git

===== Building the sources =====

Switch to the Click directory and run the configure script:

  cd click-wing
  ./configure --enable-wifi --enable-wing --disable-linuxmodule --enable-userlevel

Finally run make:

  make
  make install

===== Running Wing =====

Run the Wing configuration script (as root):

  sudo su
  cd conf/wing/
  ./clickd start

At this point running ''/sbin/ifconfig'' (on another terminal) should show a new tap interfaces called ''wing-mesh'', which is configured as 6.X.X.X and uses multi-hop routing.
