I'm not sure I get the meaning of "auto", then. Does it mean babeld will auto-detect the interface type (whenever possible, using e.g. netlink to look for a wireless interface), or is it just a generic interface type with safe defaults? > I'm hesitating to enable link-quality estimation on auto interfaces -- > it would avoid some wrong configurations, but it carries a significant > cost. > > The second change is that setting max-rtt-penalty no longer enables > timestamps.
