[OLSR-users] SLIP lines and OLSRD...

Unfortunately I have not had the time to get back to this problem, but I 
placed some slip
lines (sl0 ... sl15) in the list of interfaces which OLSRD was to 
manage. OLSRD emitted
an error message to the effect that there was 'no broadcast' on these 
interfaces, and ignored
them.

On the hardware using slip, I have an older version of OLSRD running, so 
my questions are,
is this problem an artifact of an old version, is there some 
configuration parameter needed
with slip lines, or is slip just not in the picture as a supported link 
method?

Example slip based mesh:

192.168.1.100 10.13.0.1    <->  10.13.0.2    10.14.0.1 <-> 10.14.0.2
                                                              <-> 
10.14.0.3  192.168.0.100 <-> 192.168.0.200

The node which has 10.13.0.1 as an IP address on the slip interface, 
also has
an ETHERNET interface associated with a 192.168.1.0 network.

The node that has the IP addresses of 10.13.0.2 and 10.14.0.1 is connected
SLIPwise on 3 interfaces, one connected to node 10.13.0.1, and two other
nodes, 10.14.0.2 and 10.14.0.3. Node 10.14.0.3 in turn is connected via
an ETHERNET interface to a 192.168.0.0 network.

What I would like is that the 192.168.1.0 and 192.168.0.0 networks to be 
told
to route via 192.168.0.100 and 192.168.1.100 respectively, and not have any
details of the internal slip mesh connnections, paths through which 
could change
over time.

Thanks
