commit bafd3f4f99d2b0b205a1b4cf193ee8ad151c710e Author: Simon Wunderlich simon.wunderlich@s2003.tu-chemnitz.de Date: Thu Sep 13 18:18:46 2012 +0200
batman-adv: wait multiple periods before activating bla
For some reasons (bridge forward delay, network device setup order, etc) the initial bridge loop avoidance announcement packets may be lost. This may lead to problems in finding other backbone gws, and therfore create loops in the startup time.
Fix this by extending the waiting periods to 3 (define can be changed) before allowing broadcast traffic.
