I would guess that the "state UNKNOWN" on the right is the reason why
olsrd1 does not use the interface. The routing agent thinks the
interface is down.

Interesting that the "UP" on the left side seems to contradict this state.

the flags within the brackets on the left are reported with the
ifi_flags field of the netlink message, the "state" on the right is
reported by the IFLA_OPERSTATE netlink TLV. It seems the TLV just
announces value zero, which means UNKNOWN.

from ip/ipaddress.c, iproute2 repository:

static const char *oper_states[] = {
"UNKNOWN", "NOTPRESENT", "DOWN", "LOWERLAYERDOWN",
"TESTING", "DORMANT", "UP"
};
