[B.A.T.M.A.N.] RE: Multiple wireless interfaces

[Predrag Balorda <predrag.balorda@gmail.com>]

Another thing - think of this as quasi-asynchronous links, i.e. B can talk to A
on both interfaces (call them int1 and int2), but only chooses int1, and A does
the opposite, chooses the other (int2) to talk back to B.
If B has to talk to both A and C at the same time and can see A and C on both
int1 and int2 then it will choose int1 to talk to A and int2 to talk to C.

Maybe it makes sense now....

P.S. or maybe I'm just missing something
