all packets destined outside wireless domain is routed towards the
base-station node that serves as the gateway between wired and wireless
domains. each wireless node knows about its base0station
see in wired-cum-wireless-sim.tcl
$WLnode base-station $BSnode

the above warning indicates that the route to the base-station is not
available. probably this is happening when traffic is sent before the
routing info can be exchanged between the wireless nodes or there is a
temporary loss of route to the base-station node due to simulation
dynamics. 
Sending traffic after allowing routing info between wireless nodes to
stabilise would probably prevent the dropping of pkts.
