Hi,
I'm trying to use batman-adv to fix wifi signal problems with a few Raspberry Pis. So far it's more-or-less working. I'm using dnsmasq on the main gateway node to serve IP addresses over DHCP.
One problem I have is that the bat0 device has a different MAC address each time it starts. My Raspbery Pis reboot each day on a cron job and each time they get a new MAC. This causes dnsmasq to give them a new IP address. This causes problems talking to other nodes with outdated DNS caches, as well as being irritating when I try to use ssh and it thinks the nodes are "impersonating" each other.
Is there a way to force batman-adv to use a stable MAC address?
Thanks, Matthew Exon
