[OLSR-users] Re: exclude physically connected / olsr problems on multi-interface

I am having a problem when two systems that have olsr enabled on 3 interfaces and they are visible to each other on all 3 interfaces; it seems to cause packet-loss/packet-storm? on the wired ethernet interface.  I did Not have this problem when the two systems were visible to each other on only 2 interfaces at the same time.  And, I am Not announcing HNA subnets containing IPs of the other system (yeah I did that accidently a few months ago and it caused infinate route loops until TTL).  Is there a problem with olsr when 2 units can see each other via 3 different interfaces?
Thank you,
