Hi,
I've been trying to get my embedded project included in my mesh, but no success yet. Could anyone give a pointers what is going wrong?
I have batman-adv compiled on my laptop, and also for testing purposes on another laptop, they see each other and everything is fine. I used the same sources and compiled it cleanly on each.
The problem comes when I try to add my little ARM based linux box onto the group. Again same sources used (latest stable from the wiki), crosscompiles fine and I can load the module as normal on the box. Setup goes as it should on both the device and the laptop, and both systems seems to be running smoothly. But my laptop can only see the other laptop, and the device doesn't see anyone. The wireless net is working and I can ping each device directly if I assign IP's to the 'real' interfaces, but through bat0 nothing is found. Any idea what is going wrong?

I've also played with the batman daemon on the device, with it I the laptop and device can see each other just fine. The problem there is that apparently it doesn't really support multicast forwarding? i.e. If I have 3 devices A-B-C, where A does not have direct link to C (batman routes through B), sending a multicast from A can be received in B and vice versa, also same for C-B, but no messages from A to C. Will I have the same problem with batman-adv? Or can this be fixed on the daemon?
Best Regards Juha
