[Olsr-users] Testing OLSRD hops feature

[Markus Kittenberger]

hmm a gateway address (on a clean system without any obscure
network-mangement guis and some other stuff) should not interfere with
"hopping",..

as usually hostroutes (olsr creates) are more specific than any default (or
network) route to a gateway
