Maybe related to the problem we had in Mistretta!
We upgraded just ONE node and it seems that bridge loop avoidance didn't worked anymore
that node was attached to another node via lan and both nodes had bat0 and eth0 bridged, the 2 nodes started flooding the network with rebroadcasted broadcast packet and every link was overloaded
the solution was to turn off the new node ( i have to go and disable the bridging manually )
But I think that in my case the problem was triggered by the fact that the two nodes has different batman-adv version one 2012.0.0 and the other 2011.4.0 ( and i supposed that the two version have incompatible loop avoidance )
Both node use batman-adv from openwrt repository

Hi all, after upgrade of batman package on my nodes I see a very decerase of performance of my mesh network. When I connect to some node i see every time this message:
mesh: received packet with own address as source address
now in a gateway mode my network config is: config 'interface' 'lan' option 'macaddr' '02:15:6d:7c:f0:88' option 'type' 'bridge' option 'ifname' 'mesh' option 'proto' 'static' option 'ipaddr' '10.240.136.1' option 'netmask' '255.0.0.0'
config 'interface' 'wan' option 'ifname' 'eth0' option 'proto' 'dhcp'
config 'interface' 'msh0' option 'proto' 'none' option 'mtu' '1528'
in client mode nodes the network config is:
config 'interface' 'loopback' option 'ifname' 'lo' option 'proto' 'static' option 'ipaddr' '127.0.0.1' option 'netmask' '255.0.0.0'
config 'interface' 'lan' option 'macaddr' '02:15:6d:b0:19:48' option 'type' 'bridge' option 'ifname' 'eth0 mesh' option 'proto' 'dhcp'
config 'interface' 'msh0' option 'proto' 'none' option 'mtu' '1528'
Someone can help me? I've 20 nodes crazy
