[Olsr-dev] [PATCH] olsrd: fix stack corruption in net_output()

[ZioPRoTo (Saverio Proto)]

Henning you are missing the OpenWRT problem :)

All this discussion comes out because core developers of OLSR wants to
identify the olsrd binary running on OpenWRT to better debug.

am I correct ?

If this is correct we cannot have patches applied on olsrd source in
the OpenWRT buildroot, but we need to provide a "ready-to-use" source
to the OpenWRT package.

you are proposing of compiling the stable branch in OpenWRT ?

ciao,

Saverio
