[Commotion-dev] meshing over ethernet

[Dan Staples]

The current master branch is now using an upgraded version of olsrd,
version 0.6.6, but doing a diff b/w the versions doesn't show anything
that would affect the route signing. So it should be fully compatible.

Is your setup something like this?

[ubiquiti]---wifi---[ubiquiti]---ethernet---[buffalo
center]---wifi---[buffalo]

I can try to recreate a similar setup and test it tomorrow when I have
access to a test network. I'm not sure if we've extensively tested mixed
wifi/ethernet meshing and route signing together.

Did you see any log output from the center or ubiquiti devices when
route signing was turned on that could indicated what the problem was?

Also CCing a couple other folks that might have some good
troubleshooting ideas.
