Hrm... that doesn't surprise me at all, and is wholly consistent with
the channel-hopping hypothesis.  Nevertheless, I'm pretty sure I've
encountered a case in which I could establish a link to another meshed
device, but olsrd still refused to get any routes.  I think we may be
able to get a clearer picture of what's going on by doing the following:


1.  Set up isolated test meshes far away from any other
potentially-conflicting meshes, and see if we can reproduce this
problem.

2.  Try a variety of different mesh settings to determine which
parameters need to be unique to ensure that this doesn't happen (ie,
can meshes coexist as long as they have different ssids, BSSIDs, AND
channels?   Or is that not enough?)

3.  In failure cases, forcibly try to connect to other present mesh
nodes (ping and ssh to known-good ips).  If this consistently fails,
then the problem is almost certainly a link-layer issue.  If this
works sometimes, we can't rule out some sort of interaction involving
olsrd itself.
