<div dir="ltr"><div><div>It makes no difference what OLSR thinks about the devices (ethernet or wireless). It seems the driver is refusing to send out hellos in AP mode. Client mode is fine. I've been over and over the code and I do not have the knowledge to fix it, so I have started to convert it all to the ath9k driver, which does work fine. In the long run it will be best. The big shame is the many hours spent on the failing driver. It has to be something silly, but I cannot find it.<br><br></div>Now I get to spend many hours to bring the enhancements into the ath9k.

I would also suggest NOT touching the "LQ level" parameter...<br>
switching off ETX is just stupid, especially because the "No ETX" and<br>
"ETX" Olsrd instances cannot talk with each other.<br>
<br>
Just let OLSR pretent that you ethernet is wireless and you will be fine.<br>
