Re: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] Patch to add mesh_no_rebroadcast

Hi Ruben,

thanks for re-sending the patch - as Sven pointed out we need to have it formatted properly before we can accept it. He mentioned various links which we have on the wiki, if you have troubles to apply we can also help you on IRC.

@All: I've been talking to Ruben personally at Wireless Community Weekend. He explained that they drag this patch around for their gluon community firmware and would like to get it merged - I found the original discussion, but he had some good arguments to merge it anyway. Therefore I've asked Ruben to rebase and send it again to re-start the discussion. :)

Thanks! Simon
