I found this in the Changelog, which I think I read earlier but forgot.


+ Basti complains about that pre-defined WIFIOLSR=1 and
  in Vienna, they use a second mesh network range. For that
  reason new setting on OLSR page: ff_range. Defaults to WLAN
  address range. Determines interfaces for OLSR and firewall.
  Removed (lan/wan)_proto=olsr, chg to "static" in S14ffnvram.
  Changed startup files and old /usr/bin/netparam accordingly.

I still do not understand the new preferred solution, or what this
second range or ff_range is. 

I downgraded the two nodes in the meantime.

regards,
Jan
