[Olsr-users] 802.1Q vlan frames causing asymmetric neighbor problem

[Teco Boot]

Can you provide a clue why .51 is using .1Q tags? Would have to to with CoS (priority bits) configuration.
Please provide at least uname -a and ip link / ifconfig info.

Couple of years ago, default IP QoS bits are changed. Maybe one of your Android devices copies these L3 DiffServ bits in 802.1 CoS bits. You can try with different olsrd configs and see when .1Q tags are used and when not.
