Maerk thanks for your fast reply. In fact, that's how we started, that's what I meant by:
"We have also tried adding eth0 to bat0 and take it out of br-lan, which also "works" but gives routing loops from time to time."
but my english sometimes fails me :)
Your English is quite good. To be honest I lost the overview about what interface is added where and what is connected how. Some people might be able to simply look at the uci config to understand the setup but I am not one of those. :-)
Let me write down what I understood - feel free to correct me.
some nodes -- node1 -- adhoc[wlan0-1] + ethernet[eth0] -- node2 -- more nodes
Each node also has wlan0 for non-mesh clients but this is of no relevance at this point. What is eth1 for ?
You are saying that from time to time the packets loop between node1 and node2 using adhoc & ethernet to fly forth and back ?
Is this a known issue or should this not happen in a setup where both interfaces are added to batman?
You should not have loops either way but it is easy to build loops in complicated setups. At first we should understand your setup and configuration. Drawing a little picture that shows what interface is connected to what other interface also can help.
