[Battlemesh] Broadcast lost because of hidden station

[Henning Rogge]

Hi,

RTS/CTS is a good explanation... I remember seeing RTS packets, maybe
the CTS wasn't visible in my trace because it was produced by the
local station.

Still its an annoying problem... routing agent drops route because of
no multicasts but in theory unicast still works.
