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

[Andreas Tønnesen]

The broadcast check is removed for interfaces with user defined 
broadcast addresses
in the current version, and I think this was in 0.4.9 as well. So 
defining the broadcastaddress
in the configfile should do the trick for you. As Sven-Ola says, on 
point-to-point links you
should use the receiving end address as broadcast address.
