Yes, when I disable OLSR the problem goes away because the subnet mask is no longer a dropdown when "Enable OLSR" is unchecked-- rather, it inherits the subnet mask from the interface that the server is bound to. In other words, when you enable OLSR, the subnet mask becomes a dropdown box (with 1-32 as options) and the setting does not stick, it always reverts to /32.
Again, the only reason I even checked the box was to get a DHCP Server on the WAN (which doesn't appear to work anyway). So I guess there's a "bug" and a "feature request" both :) Any quick workarounds that I can use to get the WAN tab to show up (and DHCP to work) on the WAN side? I will submit the feature request shortly.

We don't let DHCP run on WAN for obvious reasons, though maybe we need a hidden config option to allow this since it is useful in some circumstances.
