[Commotion-dev] jsoninfo updates: UUID and /sys/class/net info

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

luci sounds interesting, can luci export all the olsrd data that available in txtinfo or httpinfo (things like HNA, neighbors, links, etc.)?  I've ended up putting additional status data into jsoninfo as well.  In any case, sounds like there should be some kind of merge between jsoninfo and luci, for openwrt nodes at least.  luci probably won't help us on everything else.

As for jsoninfo, I highly recommend using the version from git, rather than the version in the 0.6.3 release.  There have been many improvements and bugfixes.
