Yes, that is expected behaviour. We don't want OGMs on the LAN, there were issues with some more "intelligent" switches which regarded OGMs as threat to the network. :) OGMs are only sent on interfaces added with "batctl if add", and nowhere else. > >> now, node D and C, too far away from each other to communicate over > >> wlan, but connected by a "loooong eth cable" (mediated by a wds > >> transparent bridge) wouldn't find each other batman originator. > >> C originator table was empty, and D only showed P. > >> I thought the transparent bridge was misbehaving, so I tried in a > >> simpler setup using P and D, with the wifi off: > >> but after disabling wlan0 (batctl if del wlan0-2) and adding eth0 > >> (batctl if add eth0) on both nodes, batman could not see each other > >> anymore :( > >> i thought i was doing something wrong, so i tried in different ways, > >> but could not get it to work. > >> batctl td eth0 shows both outgoing OGMs from local , and incoming OGMs > >> from remote, > >> but batctl l only reported outgoing OGMs. > >> > >> http://pastebin.com/7DDUaXu1 > > > > Mhm, that's weird indeed.

What is the minimal setup which is not working, two routers and one cable? I'm sorry but you lost me somewhere, would be nice to get the smallest reproducable setup. :) Cheers and thanks, Simon
