[maemo-developers] How to implement Tree Spanning Algorithm as server/router's running shell scripts ?

[From: Darius Jack]

Hi,

I am trying to set up local ireless Distribution System for maemo devices
based on a number of wifi routers and would like to setup routing tables on-the-fly and have Tree Spanning Algorithm implemented as shell scripts run on some servers linked to such wifi routers.

I would like to scan wifi aps with wirelesstools 
iwlist scan, ap ... (some options don't work)

and run maemo's Select connection on/for each access point
to get network in learning mode.

And basing on information acquired, processed I would like to generate iptable rules on-the-fly to provide no-loop network set-up/ connectivity/
building basic wireless distribution system (WDS), incorporating Tree Spanning Algorithm.

Pls tell me if iptables alone + wifi scan data with wirelesstools
are enough to have TSA implemented and working smoothly.

And finally , I am looking for TSA run as a shell script on a server.

And please refer me to some nice places.

Darius
