You would have to disable one of the network testers - either BB's
bb-network.sh script, or Hobbit's [bbnet] task.

And make sure your hobbitserver.cfg config has BBDISP set to
"127.0.0.2" (the IP you use for the hobbitd daemon), since you
probably do not want to send the info- and larrd-column status
messages that Hobbit generates off to your BB server.
