Hello Guido,
OGMs flood the ethernet backbone again as expected; running "batctl o" in mesh1 nodes show nodes from mesh2, and viceversa; i smiled! unfortunately, trying to get a DHCP lease while connected to a mesh node was again malfunctioning :( a couple of quick "batctl td", and i thiiiink that looked like dhcp request packets were being dropped at the backbone gateway, kinda like the "check incoming type for bla" bug, but i didn't try to narrow it down instead reverted configs back to gw_mode=off and things started working again
Mhm, we could track this further down if you want. So you have eth0 in your bridge and batman using a VLAN (e.g. eth0.1234) at the same time?
Case closed: i had gone lost in a myriad of different openwrt revisions, compiled binaries, and patches, so I unknowingly "updated" that part of the network to a more recent openwrt version, but that didn't have the "check incoming type for bla" patch. So it was a simple regression on my part. I just reflashed those routers to a firmware confirmed to include the patch, and everything is working again. (bla2+gw_mode+vlan) Thanks a lot Marek for pushing that patch to openwrt batman-adv stable package, it helped a lot in getting things straight :)
Feel free to update the Wiki, although I'd suggest to add an FAQ to the user page and not on the technical documentation. :)
Done, added two entries to the FAQ rewording this thread :)
Thanks as always,
Gui
