By default olsrd only propagates the addresses of the mesh interfaces,
olsrd2 only propagates the chosen originator IP address!

Neither propagates a prefix of a non-mesh interface unless you specify
it in the configuration.

In case of olsrd, you want to set a HNA entry in the configuration...
in olsrd2, you set a "lan" (locally attached network) in the "olsrv2"
section of the configuration or use the lan_import plugin (see
olsr.org wiki "deployments").
