Yea, a failure to insert these would be a good test for falling back
to non-subtrees.

...

I uploading to: http://www.taht.net/~d/

babeld.dump-ipv6-subtrees-false babeld_2_wlans.log
babled-ipv6-subtrees-false.log

I see the invalid argument go by in the subtrees-false case.

It was a real joy to be able to just compile stuff directly on these
itty bitty boxes, which saved much time vs openwrt. too much time.

I do crazy things so others don't have to.

...

another possible bug is that I would have assumed the bridged ap box
would have detected the bridge and supplied a different metric or
cost.
I think it is (256) according to the logs, so that is right...

The topology there is:

pi3 - AP br-lan <wifi> sw10 (fe80::120d:7fff:fe64:c992)
 (cerowrt connecting as a sta rather than adhoc).

Admittedly that connection measures at 80mbits and is probably a great
deal less flaky than the pi is.

IF you are bored and want access to these boxes let me know.
