no, this does not mess up olsrd, it probably messed up your wifi  
connectivity per se.
Cross check: install static routes and try to ping.
If that works, then it messed up olsrd. But I predict that static  
routes will also not work in that case.

Why?

no idea, wifi drivers are not the greatest thing in linux.
