I figure you want to sleep, but in great delirious joy I cross
compiled this for openwrt
on arm, and:

Tue Oct 23 14:38:53 2018 daemon.err babeld[11651]: Warning: keyword
"wired" is deprecated -- please use "type" instead.
Tue Oct 23 14:38:53 2018 daemon.err babeld[11651]: Assertion failed:
buf->len >= bytes + 2 && buf->buf[buf->len - bytes - 2] == type &&
buf->buf[buf->len - bytes - 1] == bytes (message.c: end_message: 966)

killed the old conf file:

Tue Oct 23 14:39:38 2018 daemon.err babeld[11703]: Warning: couldn't
determine whether br-lan (11) is a wireless interface.
Tue Oct 23 14:39:38 2018 daemon.err babeld[11703]: Assertion failed:
buf->len >= bytes + 2 && buf->buf[buf->len - bytes - 2] == type &&
buf->buf[buf->len - bytes - 1] == bytes (message.c: end_message: 966)

I got other fish to fry today, but a good start...
