Yes, note however that babeld only watches the interfaces that were given
to it on the command line or in the config file.  Does OpenWRT need
wildcard support?

Please don't do that.  We're trying to avoid having the OpenWRT version of
babeld diverge from upstream, as a patched babeld is confusing to both the
users and the maintainers.

If this cannot be fixed without hacking babeld, I can add a special case
so that "-I none" is a synonim for "-I ''".
