Following the tutorial, I reached the Virtual Machine Settings section, where I need to lan IP address:
uci set network.lan.ipaddr='192.168.56.2'
uci commit
reboot
But I couldn't SSH to the network.
Why do I need it:
I am trying to create a mesh network using batman. I already managed to configure batman on my a pi with OpenWrt, but to test the network I to add more nodes, and I am trying to create them virtually.
What is the first virtualnic(vbox gui) setting bridged? what is your intended architecture...?
You did not set a gateway or dns... so you won't get internet without dhcp or those... but not being able to ssh seems to me that you might be running host only without an ip on that network on your host machine...
You don't need to reboot: /etc/init.d/network restart
