Just forget about ETX... you don't need it.

There is a function to convert the link cost back into the text representation 
(depending on the plugin) in lq_plugin.c:

const char *
get_linkcost_text(olsr_linkcost cost, bool route, struct lqtextbuffer *buffer)

use this if you want to output the "human readable" linkcost.
