The development version in the master branch of our repository has a pretty 
advanced logging system, but if you need the complete incoming messages, you 
will have to add your own message callbacks into the packet scheduler, so you 
get the binary messages.

The other option would be to make the IDS independent from OLSR, just use 
libpcap and the packet dissector for OLSR from tcpdump.
