There is nothing like batman-adv 3.2. Where did you got it from?

Sorry, my fault, i meant 0.3.2 release.

You must give bat0 also an ip to use IPv4(/6) over it... in most cases only
bat0 as it is just the hardware interface the bat0 interface is using.
If you only want to test raw ethernet data over bat0 this should work.

Ok now i have assigned ip addresses only to bat0 interface, i do ping nodes with ping command.
here are some output:

$batctl o

Originator     (#/255)           Nexthop [outgoingIF]:   Potential nexthops ... [B.A.T.M.A.N. Adv 0.1, MainIF/MAC: wlan0/00:0b:6b:34:88:94]

It shows 4 of 5 nodes I have online at this very moment.

Say i fire ping from the box missing:

root@francesco-desktop:/home/francesco# ping 192.168.1.2
PING 192.168.1.2 (192.168.1.2) 56(84) bytes of data.

rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 3.167/4.911/8.012/2.198 ms

Everything ok. But if I try to batctl ping a node that I can see with $batctl o:

root@francesco-desktop:/home/francesco# batctl ping 00:0b:6b:2f:53:03
PING 00:0b:6b:2f:53:03 (00:0b:6b:2f:53:03) 19(47) bytes of data

rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.000/0.000/0.000/0.000 ms

What am I missing? I will post dump files tomorrow when i get back in the lab.

Thanks.

Can you please give the originator table and send some small dumps (tcpdump -
w, batctl td) of both nodes when you try to send a batctl ping?
What mac address did you use?

Best regards,
Sven
