olsrd/gui/linux-gtk does not (yet) understand the LQ extensions AFAIK.

thanks for the report.
As said, since that was not used to my knowledge in the funkfeuer/ 
freifunk networks where most current developers are situated,  
probably not so much attention was given to
the secure plugin as well as the linux-gtk GUI. The linux GTK GUI is  
missing the LQ parsing code.

We usually take different packages for visualizing the network:  
dot_draw, http_info or txtinfo plugin. These are usually more  
practical although for sure not yet perfect.

I hope the explanation helped.

Patches are of course - as always welcome

(BTW: mille gracias Alina!! - just reading thru the v6 patch now...  
(and bernd was faster ) :)))
