Hi Etienne,

i tested this patch and it seems to work. But there is one thing i don't really like, maybe you can find a way to work around this:

I'm using a mesh with olsr where i receive a default route too. Now if i have a wan connection where i get a defaultroute from (with metric 0) this one will always be the preferred route, because the defroute from olsrd has a metric > 0. With your patch both connections/routes are shown in the status which i think is not optimal, i prefer the old behaviour where only the route with the lower metric is shown, because that is the one that is actually used (in the normal case, i.e. without multiwan).

Do all routes from multiwan have the same metric? Then maybe you can add something that only adds these routes to the table. Another solution could be to disable the wan status completely when multiwan is used and instead link to the multiwan-status page.
