now I know why olsrd is so incredible fast ... the hashing is complete broken!
;)

The following patch fix the hash functionality for IP{v4,v6} addresses.
Currently the code is _really_ buggy, especially for IPv6 (where nearly[tm]
every address result in a collision). This patch try to fix them. "Try"
because the hash result should be mixed with an additional magic cookie to
prevent some kind of spoofing attacks. But because that isn't a hot topic at
the moment this patch should be fine.


Best regards, Hagen
