We just have to think about a good API interface between the routing code and the os-dependent parts. I have done lot's of refactoring in the OLSRd master branch for the OS-dependent API interface, and I would be happy to do more of it to get to a common codebase. @Julius: OLSRd contains code to set BSD IPv4 routes, but it seems to have problems too. Joining forces for this code parts seem to be a good idea. Henning -- 1) You can't win. 2) You can't break even. 3) You can't leave the game. — The Laws of Thermodynamics, summarized
