[Babel-users] Convergence problem

[Juliusz Chroboczek]

> But problem with convergence is still present, not always but sometimes.

I understand that:

 - the rxcost on the Alix board remains stuck at infinity;
 - and hence the txcost on the SuSE PC is at infinity too.

If so, it looks like an issue with the link quality estimation.  I've
found one typo in this code, for which I'm attaching a fix; let me
know if it fixes your issues.

If it doesn't, I'd be glad if you could confirm that the Alix board is
receiving the Hellos from the PC when the problem happens (tcpdump
should show if you're receiving the Babel packets).

  No hello is -1, not 0.
