Hi guys, I've read the open-mesh FAQ but I'm not able to resolve my problem. I understood that the mesh network is a public network and that every user have to make sure their connection is secure but i don't want that another node (alien) can connect to my network so i thinked about use ebables to block all traffic (such as policy DROP of iptables) and allow only certain nodes to comunicate with other.
I need some like this ebtables -i wlan0 DROP ebtables -i wlan0 --src <node mac> ACCEPT
but don't work for me
Any suggest?
If you dig a bit in the mailing list archive you can probably find some other threads talking about this topic. ebtables only work on bridges, therefore it won't work on simple interfaces like wlan0..

Hi,
I don't known if this is a old argument but exsist the possibility to implement a secure mesh network? For example a tecnique that crypt batman-adv traffic with a preshare key or similar or using ebtables to block all INPUT and OUTPUT traffic and allow only the specified nodes mac?
Please consult our FAQ and feel free to ask unanswered questions afterwards: http://www.open-mesh.org/wiki/open-mesh/FAQ
