imho the main reason why most openwrt patches never make upstream, is
because noone ever wanted to talk with olsr-devs about them,.

hmm could someone post a link or the sourcecode of this patch?
(or just push it to our repo, its public writeable (-;)

the point of that patch is to not destroy the forward setting.

afair olsrd reads in such (and other kernel setting it changes) on startup
and restores them back on (a clean) exit.

upstream olsr should have something like that: 'get fwd setting, if not
> fwd-ia ng then set fwd-ing' and at the end: 'restore fwd-ing'
