I had set it up and it was working properly on 31st.
I think it was a combination of settings that allowed dhcp. Cause when we disabled dhcp in the web i/f and tried to create a udhcpd.conf file it simply refused to run on ANY interface. > It > was working fine for WLAN, not OLSR, because if I'm not mistaken, > there's a different interface for OLSR, bridged with the actual > WLAN interface.

The OLSR i/f is for the backbone routing. running dhcp on this will open a new can of worms requiring dhcp forwarding etc. > There is provision. I did the last time.
