| What is Ad hoc Support Library? |
Ad-hoc Support Library provides a simple API to implement on-demand or reactive ad-hoc routing protocols in Linux. It is implemented as a userspace library. No kernel modifications are required.

| System requirements |
Ad hoc Support Library uses lots of facilites exclusive to the Linux 2.4 kernel. The following are required for ASL to work.Most Linux distributions like Redhat 8 meet this requirement.
- Kernel version greater than 2.4.3
- Loadable module support in the kernel
- TUN/TAP support in the kernel. (TUN/TAP does not work on 2.4.3 and earlier)
- Netfilter software and support in the kernel. Netfilter can be obtained here.
Here is a sample kernel .config file for a 2.4.18 kernel, running on a Compaq Presario 1800T.
