[Mesh] mesh routers

[Alcides Gutierrez]

So I just took a look on openwrt's snapshot list of packages. Looks like
olsrd is up to date with the latest release from two days ago. The whole
snapshot list was updated yesterday.

Babeld snapshot is 1.3.2 (current is 1.3.4)

Batmanadv snapshot is 3.7.7+2013  (couldnt find a current comparable
version)

Openwrt's attitude adjustment is rc1, so an rc2 or stable might be in the
lineup soon.
