Is anyone using the latest batman-adv release with bridges?
Maybe I didn't make it clear enough that the outstanding multicast issues and patches are severe (as in makes common setups unusable).
Hm, I am now not sure if we switched topics again. Maybe you can enlighten us. Jay was not perfectly clear in his first mail what what he actually wanted to know. His second mail was refining his question to something like "tell me if I can deploy batman-adv from OpenWrt because I've read the term 'crash' somewhere". I am sure that your critism of OpenWrt is valid and a good point to make. But maybe we can make your answer a little bit more understandable (at least for me):
You are saying something about "outstanding multicast issues and patches" without defining what it means in this mails.
Are there known missing patches/issues for batman-adv which would break "common setups"? If yes, why is multicast_mode enabled by default in batman-adv?
Are there "only" missing patches/issues in the bridge code (the ones you've linked to in the other mail [1]) of OpenWrt which breaks batman-adv with multicast_mode? If yes, why is multicast_mode enabled by default in batman-adv?
Are there "only" missing patches/issues in the bridge code (the ones you've linked to in the other mail [1]) of OpenWrt which breaks batman-adv even without multicast_mode?
Are these missing patches/issues only about bridges + multicast and not about batman-adv?
Kind regards, Sven
