Please use 0.95 instead of 0.94.  0.94 has some stupid bugs with link
quality estimation, you'll get unstable routing with it, and I won't be
able to use your results.

By the way, for anyone interested in understanding what all of that is
about, please check

If you want to know why it's difficult to do right,

and if you want to understand why it's possible in Babel but not in OLSR
to do approximations of their metric, check the Babel draft, section
2.5.2.
