Hello Derek,
BATMAN will only open one gate0, so this should be fine. The tunnel is always pointing to the currently selected gateway. Make sure that you add something like "--source 192.168.100.0/24" to your iptables line, otherwise other packets might make into in your NAT which you don't want there (e.g. from wifi interfaces). Only the packets from your local ([V]AP?) network should be there.
regards, Simon

Hi again,
I'm currently testing with a few openwrt boards - generally its going well and I'm connected to the Internet via a BATMAN node thats talking to a gateway node - pretty good stuff.
I've noticed something. On my (non gateway) node the traffic is going out the "gate0" tunnel NIC. My notebook is connected wirelessly to an [V]AP on the node so I need to have a MASQUERADE rule on the gate0 NIC to allow my local AP subnet (192.168.100.0/24) Internet access.
In a live network, with lots of nodes, will there still only ever be one gateX NIC ? - is it enough to just have an "iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o gate0 -j MASQUERADE" rule ?
thanks very much for all the help
Derek
