hi!

i am talking about packet loss to the extend of "this node is dead"
The funny thing ist: it will just as well even occur on pure ethernet 
connections.

packet loss / "node is almost dead" for a random (or seemingly random) number of nodes. At first it looked like it affected only omni nodes but actually it happend to our dot_draw plogin / map painting machine b) to most omnis and c) to 
some cable connected directional link nodes (all of them excpet for the pcs)

almost dead means: it will take a very long time until a ping goes thru

it seems hard to reproduce.. .i will keep my eye open and try to 
connect again when that happens . but as soon as i retart olsrd it works fine. 
so if i restart olsrd with -d 1 then all seems ok :)

hm good one. so far i rebooted most of them and everything was ok again.
