[Babel-users] ad-hoc networks behave like mesh using babel?

That's normal if you're not putting the state file in persistent
storage (you're losing your seqno when you reboot, and Babel's loop
avoidance mechanism gets confused).  Babeld should recover from this
after 3 minutes at most.

The proper solution is to point babeld at a persistent filesystem
using the -S command-line flag.  If that's not possible, you can work
around the issue by using the random-id config file directive or
the -r command-line flag.
