[Olsr-users] Fwd: Question about hidden node behavior

[Markus Kittenberger]

hmm we do not really need 802.11e support, but sure it`s nice to have this

if madwifi would just report its qeues as full to the kernel, it would do,..

(and imho this should imho be a standard behaviour for any interface
driver,..)
