Hi all
I'm experiencing a strange situation
[AP_n]--wifi--[client]--mesh--[gateway]--wifi--[AP_g]
[xDSL]---[world]The two nodes (client and gateway) are running batman 0.3 (experimental rv636) in the right way with option --bmx-defaults.
A wifi laptop associated with AP_g (gateway' AP) can browse internet pretty well while associated with AP_n (client' AP) it can't! Please note that client itself can browse internet! (I tryed ssh into node and then wget something). I verified no nameserver problem neither firewall blocking rules (gateway and node are flashed and run the same firmware)
Just to get you right. your laptop is not running batman, just a usual wifi-client in managed mode. and your APs are not running batman as well, just usual APs in managed mode. If that is the case the problems is actually only related to non-batman nodes!? If not, try to collect further information about your iproute configuration like: $ip rule $ip r ls t 254 $ip r ls t 65 $ip r ls t 66 $ip r ls t 67 And maybe your firewall or nat settings?
But what is puzzling me is that running batman 0.2 on nodes... laptop associated with AP_n (client' AP) can browse! (I've only changed the daemon, no others change into environment - procedures dinamically change batmand command string) . I noticed the parameter "--no-unreachable-rule" then tryed adding this parameter at the batman 0.3 command string but unfortunately with no results!
Batman-0.3 and beyond supports policy routing, thus uses 3 routing tables for configuring the routes. There is table 65 for HNA routes, 66 for host routes, and 67 for default routes (the command: ip route list table 66 # for example shows the host routes). Also batman usually adds an unreachable rule to the end of table 66 so that all hosts which IP netmask is falling into the netmask used for the batman mesh is immediately considered unreachable if not having a dedicated batman-host route to that IP. The --no-unreachable-rule simply does not set this roule. Using this switch is usully only necessary if you are doing very fancy stuff.

Maybe I'm boring you... bat have any ideas about?
