Multiple interfaces with the same IP is a problem. Not only for lqmult but 
sometimes even for the ETX calculation. That's because OLSR cannot tell the 
different LQ/NLQ pairs appart if you have a lot of interfaces with the same 
IP.

I hope we can make everyone stopping this when Markus "source-ip" Patch will 
be introduced with the next version of OLSR.
