[Olsr-users] ignore whether interface is wireless

[Lonnie Nunweiler]

Lars,

Thanks.  I did set the LinkQualityLevelto to zero on all units.  The AP
seems to be receiving Hellos from its clients.  I'll add a specific debug
and verify this.

I figured out out how to get the httpinfo going.  Real easy, BUT, you need
to be aware of it.

Right now my problem is that I do not know enough to ask the right
questions.  I'm learning.

When I have the ath9k driver loaded the client looks like this:
IP Address    SYM   MPR  MPRS  Willingness
10.11.12.53 <http://10.11.12.53:8001/all>   YES   NO     YES     4

With the qcp driver this is what it shows:
IP Address    SYM   MPR  MPRS  Willingness
10.11.12.53 <http://10.11.12.53:8001/all>   YES   NO     NO       4

It would seem it is close to working but it is not liking something.  What
would be something to cause the MPRS to not be set?

Lonnie
