EVTIMER_SET is a wrapper for evtimer_set, the libevent subroutine.
The libevent documentation explains how evtimer_set works.  When the
interval set by EVTIMER_ADD in hsls_interface_hello_sched() has passed,
libevent will call the subroutine you provide to EVTIMER_SET with the
argument you provide, that is, it will call hsls_interface_hello_cb((void
*)hi).  Make sure that both EVTIMER_SET and EVTIMER_ADD are called.
See if hsls_interface_hello_cb is ever called.

It sounds to me like there is a general problem with event dispatch.
