Hi all,

This is something to be posted in other forums. But just wanted to know if you faced the same problem.

I tried to drop the connections between the end users (node_1 and node_3) of

node_1 ----node_2-----node_3

iptables -t raw -A PREROUTING -i wlan0 -m mac --mac-source 00:13:a9:c3:ae:8f -j DROP

This will not work because in this way you are blocking IP datagram with source mac address equal to 00:13:a9:c3:ae:8f. Batman packets are not IP datagram, so you can't block them by means of iptables.

As Marek suggested, you should use something like ebtables. But honestly I remember that ebtables support has been removed from batman some time ago.
