[Commotion-dev] startard olsrd.conf for commotion?

[Josh King]

Hi Hans,

The default olsrd.conf's that I've seen in packages for other distros 
have typically had a lot more comments in them, clarifying the options. 
So if you're suggesting replacing a the default .conf file in the 
Debian repo, it might be better to take the existing default file, 
change the settings to be in line with the settings in this file (minus 
the HNAs and Interface addressing, given that those are node-specific) 
and test. That may be what you're already suggesting.
