yes, and as other olsr nodes use it to identify your olsr node, it better
not to change it while running,..

olsrd puts the main ip itself on lo:olsr (-;

this is done to make sure that it stays around, even if the interface it
learned the ip from changes ip or goes down,..

if u want to specify the main-ip (and not rely on olsr taking the ip from
the first olsr-interface)
just do it in the config file using the MainIp directive.
