[Olsr-users] OpenWRT Compilation

[Ben McCarthy]

Hi Henning,

Thanks for the clarification, I assumed that the functionality that HNAs
provide is too useful to be completely removed, so that explains where it is
going.

Do you have a rough estimate of when you hope olsrd will completely move
over to OLSRv2?

Cheers,

Ben
