Hi all,<br>i&#39;m starting a B.A.T.M.A.N. mesh testbed, i&#39;ve read some messages to find some answers but no luck.<br>I&#39;ll try to explain what I&#39;ve done and the errors i get..hope i get some help in here.<br><br>

>From the beginning, I am using batman-adv 3.2 compiled along with batctl.<br>Only one wireless interface (wlan0) on each linux box (5 boxes by now)<br>Here are commands I fire on each node:<br><br>$ insmod batman-adv.ko<br>

$ iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc essid BATMAN_NET<br>$ echo wlan0 &gt; /proc/net/batman-adv/interfaces<br>$ ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.xxx up<br>$ ifconfig bat0 up<br><br>I get a new bat0 interface, iwconfig shows nodes properly part of the ad-hoc network.<br>

I see correct $batctl o  output but i cannot $batctl ping $mac_address<br><br>There are no bridges between interfaces. I just want to run batman-adv  on wlan0.<br>Do I need to set an IP address for wlan0, for bat0 or for both?<br>

Or I have to bridge bat0 and wlan0 together?<br><br><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Francesco Cappuccio<br><br>
