[Olsr-users] ignore whether interface is wireless

[Henning Rogge]

Hi,

I would also suggest NOT touching the "LQ level" parameter...
switching off ETX is just stupid, especially because the "No ETX" and
"ETX" Olsrd instances cannot talk with each other.

Just let OLSR pretent that you ethernet is wireless and you will be fine.
