Hi,
welcome on our list! :-)
Thank you! :)
To do this, first of all, I should block OGMs from a particular station. I tried with ebtables in order to block all the packets with source MACa (where MACa is the MAC address of the station I would prevent to communicate with me), but I failed.
Does anyone know a working way to do what I described before?
I think it would be easier to help you, if described in more detail what exactly you tried so far and why it was not successful. Please give us all the settings & commands involved otherwise we have to guess what is going on.
Ok, I'm going to list all the commands I used. First of all, I'm using the svn version of batman-adv, in order to be up to date. The topology, actually, is a simple adhoc net between two hosts.
What I did is: inserting the module, activating the if and adding the phy if to bat0: # insmod batman-adv.ko # ifconfig bat0 up # batctl if add wlan0
Then I tried to block any kind of packets from a known mac (say MACa).
# ebtables -A INPUT -s MACa -j DROP
After this I checked with "battctl o" if I was still able to see the other host, and even waiting a few minutes, the host was still in the list.
What am I missing? I tried also using the FORWARD chain of ebtables, and also adding more constraints on the filer, but it didn't help.
I hope to have explained it clearly.
