[Commotion-dev] the one dynamic config option for olsrd

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

I had a good conversation with Henning Rogge, one of the main olsrd devs, about the txtinfo plugin and dynamic configuration possibilities.  It seems there is one parameter that we can configure at runtime: HNA.  So that means we can have in the phone GUI a button that turns on and off the sharing of the GSM/CDMA internet connection to the mesh, and the rest can stay the same.

The caveat is that the HNA information is not frequently propagated thru the mesh, so it wouldn't take effect quickly for the whole mesh.  But that's probably not a bad thing from the point of view of the user of that particular phone.

So I think that changes the approach a little bit in terms of the seven profiles that we were thinking about.  I think that we should still have the seven profiles, but the HNA/internet gateway stuff should not be included except for maybe one profile that is like the static node that always shares everything.
