[Commotion-dev] Can't talk between desktop OLSRd and Commotion OpenWRT boxes

[Ben West]

I believe this was the same problem I encountered last week when briefly
testing the Ubuntu commotion-mesh-applet package and a Nanostation M2
running Commotion-OpenWRT PR3-ish.

I didn't have a change to diagnose problem, but my suspicion is
incompatible OLSR config on either side, in particular ...

- Incorrect or missing olsrd_secure key?
- OLSR smart_gateway feature not working as intended?  (Perhaps try
disabling it.)

If you can disable olsrd and have the nodes route to each other manually
(as I could), then that would indicate olsrd config issues.
