BATMAN askes the system for the IP and broadcast addresses. In both cases the system responds with the same answer. I don't see much difference from batmans point of view. > Is this implemented like this (where?)?

Can anyone of the OLSR folks say something about that ? I can't imagine how the routing daemon can distinguish 2 distinct connections with the same address ... Regards, Marek
