Hehhe. I'm really really confused. We need to go back and take a look at the setup again. I'll try to read up on how OLSR works too. > > Well take a look at the init script /etc/init.d/udhcpd.

That's where I found out about the local config file. Actually, the aforementioned bug may be corrected by correcting the init script. > Well we were stupid.

I tried that, but the udhcpd.conf gets overwritten by the init script.
