I know that Linux has support built-in for connecting to ad-hoc networks, but does it implement any ad-hoc routing algorithm? (AODV, DSR, etc.)

I'm searching for an implementation of some routing algorithm but all I can find are old abandoned projects which I'm having trouble building. I can't find any information on whether it's already built-in at all, and don't have access to a linux box that actually has working WiFi, at the moment.

yes linux kernel has an AODV loadable module present in it and it supports it very well

Kernel AODV

Kernel AODV is a loadable kernel module for Linux. It implements AODV routing between computers equipped with WLAN devices.

Current version: 2.2.2

Problem with undefined symbols should be fixed. The entire code base has been renovated. I still needed to add in some comments

and linux kernel supports DSR as well.
