Hi,

have you tried to run olsrd with minimal configuration?

(just set the interfaces olsrd should run on, nothing else)

olsrd sets this flag automatically during startup.

Laptop also runs olsrd?

Okay, my guess would be the configuration is somehow wrong, lets have a
look. Just send your olsrd configuration file (not the UCI one) to the
list... in case of OpenWRT you will find it somewhere in /tmp.
