I've been told this may not be software version mismatch problem, though I 
know we had some issues with marginal node connections and changes in the 
ETX behavior at some point.  The node in question may be plugged into an 
AP providing it with DHCP, basically thinking it's a gateway.  Either way 
it predictably makes our real gateway lose its default route.
