the problem is that leon does not receive any packets from its neighbors. Its
log only repeatedly states "Sending own packet" but no information about
incoming packets is printed. If you compare it with the other logs you will
see what I mean.
A common mistake leading to this symptom is a bridge misconfiguration. Is eth0
on leon part of a bridge ?
