Hi Team,
I really appreciate for all your contributions in the mesh network. I am trying to set-up mesh network using tplink WR1043ND routers and raspberry pi B+ integrated with ra2800usb (wi pi). The tplink routers are working as expected. Howoever, the raspberry pi is not working.
The configuration file for the Pi board is as follows:
config interface loopback option ifname lo option proto static option ipaddr 127.0.0.1 option netmask 255.0.0.0 config interface lan option ifname eth0 option type bridge option proto static option ipaddr 192.168.1.1 option netmask 255.255.255.0 config interface 'mesh' option ifname 'adhoc0' option mtu '1528' option proto 'batadv' option mesh 'bat0' config interface mb option ifname bat0 option type bridge option proto static option ipaddr 192.168.99.26 option netmask 255.255.255.0
using the same config in tplink routers work but not in pi boards. The adhoc0 interface is not shown up in pi board.
cat sys/class/net/adhoc0/batman-adv/mesh_iface says none. cat sys/class/net/adhoc0/batman-adv/staus says not in use.
Please Help!!! Thanks in advance.
Yours Sincerely, Sailash M Research Student

Sounds more like an OpenWrt/LEDE question. But I think the persons which created the OpenWrt/LEDE scripts for batman-adv are subscribed to this list.
The configuration file for the Pi board is as follows:
[...]
config interface 'mesh' option ifname 'adhoc0' option mtu '1528' option proto 'batadv' option mesh 'bat0'
[...]
Why are you adding the interface in /etc/config/wireless and not as described in the quick start guide [1] to /etc/config/wireless? I would suggest to try to use the /etc/config/wireless because these are "dynamically" created interfaces and (not tested) should work better with netifd.
Is it working when you do `batctl if add adhoc0`? Is something shown in dmesg related to an error while adding the interface?
Kind regards, Sven

My wireless configuration is:
config wifi-iface wmesh option device radio1 option ifname adhoc0 option network mesh option mode adhoc option ssid mesh option bssid 02:ca:ca::ca:40 option encryption none
So, it is almost the same as mentioned in [1] https://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/Batman-adv-openwrt-config
Yes, I tried batctl if add adhoc0, and when i put batctl if.. it days adhoc inactive. Nothing critical says in dmesg. One line is to increase the mtu from 1500 to 1532 for eth0.
Thanks for your help. Please check. I hope we can fix this.
Thanks, Sailash M

Please show the output of "iw dev", "iw phy", "ip link" and "batctl if" after you did the "batctl if add adhoc0".

Hm, this retracted information is not telling the whole story. You are most likely not telling us about the other batman-adv messages. These for example would tell us what interfaces are added/removed/activated/...
