I don't know, every (physical)networksetup is different, and that is the 
reason that it can't give " the one and only working olsr.conf"

in your network you are working with "TC redundancy: 0" we are working 
with  "TC redundancy: 2"
everybody gets all information, but we also use the fish (0.4.10)

most of the nodes in berlin are static, that is the reasen why we try a 
very slow config
the pollrate is set to 0.1 normal is 0.05, ( some nodes working with the 
faster pollrate) and the LinkQualityWinSize is 100 in our conf , thats 
good for static links, there are not changing...but it makes it also for 
notebook user slower to find the right gw, it is possibble,
that you have to wait up to 5 min.
I don't know if the fisheye is the right way, we can't say it works 
better or not, but it works  ;-)
we have more problems with bat HF connections an people who don't update 
there WRT ... it is "buttom up network" not a "top down" one ;-)

btw
in march, we setup the WirelessCommunityWeekend at c-base/berlin for 
people who have already a running (olsr) community network.

# - /lib, followed by /usr/lib

# Example plugin entry with parameters:

#LoadPlugin "olsrd_dyn_gw.so.0.3"

     # Here parameters are set to be sent to the
     # plugin. Theese are on the form "key" "value".
     # Parameters ofcause, differs from plugin to plugin.
