Thank you for your quick replies guys. I just woke up (doh!) so I'll get
back to you with all details shortly, but just to quickly answer axels
question on olsr.

Ok I will also post my setup

Aa ----------------- Ba --------- Ca  (a is 11a g is 11bg interface)
105.0.0.1/24     105.0.0.2   105.0.0.3
Ag ----------------- Bg --------- Cg
105.0.1.1/24     105.0.1.2   105.0.1.3

11a is switched OFF on all nodes.

OLSR seems to ALWAYS just go from Ag directly to Cg (I presume it's because
it can see it on g radio) even though route through Bg would be better and
it takes 10-15ms (at least for traceroute output). B.A.T.M.A.N ALLWAYS goes
through Bg and it's all 2ms hops Ag > Bg 2ms, Bg > Cg 2ms. Much better
wouldn't you say?
That's why I've given up on OLSR.

Ok that was the short answer, later I'll get back to you on the gate0 issue.

maybe check 5.4. Because I think that the improvements from 5.3 to 5.4 are 
huge, but also because I am always interested in the concrete pros and cons 
that people observe between the latest olsr/batman state-of-the art.


ciao,
