To answer your first question, Sorry for the confusion, When I tried a trunk on a new UBNT , a few weeks ago I got the no comms result, so I promptly compiled with Backfire and all was well.
However , a member of the VT-DEV list has the same problem while trying to run from precompiled trunk, on a new tp-link wr703 unit.
Unfortunately the wr703 is only supported on trunk, so with the pre-compiled version he gets the same results I had.
We are currently a little bit confused about your mail. It doesn't provide a good view on the actual problematic. There are small chunks of information here and there, but nothing which could help us to understand what it going on. Also references are only made as "somebody else said something" and not as link or citation. This makes it quite hard for us to help you.
So what we would need is a clear and consistent description: * what hardware/software is used? * what are the versions/revisions of everything (including branch informations)? * how looks the hardware (including network infrastructure) configuration? * how looks the software configuration? * can it be reproduced with the newest version? (include enough information to define "newest version") * do you know a version where it works and what is this version? * what tests did you use? * what result did you expect? * what was the actual result of the test? * when a workaround is known: what exact steps are necessary to work around the problem? * ...
Please also provide relevant information from the batman-adv debug(fs) interface [1] and packet dumps (please be aware that only relevant parts are interesting and that we have a limit of 200 KiB for mails).
Be aware that pre-compiled trunk of openwrt doesn't mean that you get the newest stuff in trunk or anything stable at all.
I took this to be related, But if a patch is out, I reckon the only way is to build from a new svn update to solve?
I cannot give a good answer to this question, but it would be a good idea to test the patches for batman-adv 2011.3.1 that are integrated in the openwrt trunk since r28779 [2].
Kind regards, Sven
