Well, on the other hand we will not stay in 2.4GHz with 54 or 108 mbit
for the
next 1000 years, I suppose. And we are using OLSRD not only on WLAN
links but
also with ethernet and openvpn tunnels.
And we ran into (and eliminated) some 32 (IIRC) interface limit just
because of this
(well, the "limit" was never nice implemented so I would have killed it
anyway sooner
or later).
