A changing Originator IP is a nightmare for OLSR. It was responsible for lot's 
of pain in the Freifunk/Funkfeuer networks. Most times the interface with the 
primary IP were down just for a few seconds, so we decided to just keep the 
IP.
That's of course dangerous with the source_ip patch, but that's why it's not 
active at the moment (and why the development tip creates the lo:olsr device).
