Hi,
I have a special question on confgurating our batman advanced setup. We have a Tinc VPN on tap0, and behind this VPN is a dhcp server and an internet gateway which is reachable trough the ip 10.18.0.1. On the router I have ath1, an adhoc wlan device, on which batman advanced is sending packagets. Now bat0 and tap0 are brindged to br-mesh. Like you can see in the configuration:
root@Floh:~# cat /etc/config/network [...] config 'interface' 'mesh' option 'type' 'bridge' option 'ifname' 'bat0 tap0' option 'stp' '1' [...]
root@Floh:~# cat /etc/config/batman-adv config 'mesh' 'bat0' option 'interfaces' 'ath1' option 'orig_interval' option 'log_level'
[batman] [client]-->[adhoc ath1]-->[bat0][br-mesh][tap0]-->internet-->[gateway/dhcp]
Other nodes running the same configuration but not connecting trought vpn can connect to the dhcp server through batman advanced and the adhoc device.
If a client (laptop) without batman advanced tries to connect, it has no success because it does not get an I address.
What can I do? I can not open a second wifi device in ap mode and add it to mesh. I know that this would be the best way but I´m trying this on an wrt54g and the b43 driver does not support multi essid.
Regards Clemens
