Hi Marek,
 
Thanks for clearing this up.
 
With no broadcom support in 2.6 then there is no kmod driver for batman.
 
It looks like its back to the earlier version of that did work (batman 0.2-rv478-1) just that it did not forward same subnet arps. I realise that performance is not going to be great with this but it will work
 
To do this do I basically setup one subnet for the batman nodes to run in, then further subnets for the hosts at each wrt batman mesh node, then just configure each batmand node to announce the host subnet?
 
So for a 3 node mesh, break the default bridge, assign a static network address to the eth0, assign a different subnet address to wl0
i.e
mesh node 1
eth0 172.16.1.1/24
wl0 192.168.1.1
run with batmand -a 172.16.1.0 wl0
 
mesh node 2
eth0 172.16.2.1/24
wl0 192.168.1.2
run with batmand -a 172.16.2.0 wl0
 
etc
 
Does this look correct to allow say 172.16.1.2 on the ethernet of mesh1 to ping 172.16.2.2 on the ethernet of mesh2?
 
Thanks again for sticking with this
 
nick
