For good info in current use on Wireless and routing check out
www.seattlewireless.net. That''s one of the better sources of info with
people actively involved.
As for routing just make sure that shorewall is allowing routing updates
between the routers. OSPF uses IP protocol 89 (RFC1247) so be sure to
allow that and it uses multicast so multicast has to be propaged through.
There''s a lot of reading to do to make sure everything gets setup
properly, but linux should work just fine for what you need it to do.
Hope a little of this info helps,
