I would suggest that you use an ordinary Linux distribution to set up your first AHCP server, following the instructions in the upstream ahcpd readme[1]. Once you've set up a functioning AHCP server and got your first AHCP client to configure itself, it should be trivial to add additonal nodes to your network, whether using upstream or OpenWRT-modified versions of ahcpd and babeld. Sorry for that, but the OpenWRT packaging of ahcpd is somewhat opaque -- for some reason, the OpenWRT folks insist on rewriting everything in their own configuration language. -- Juliusz [1] http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/ahcp/README.text
