[B.A.T.M.A.N.] batman adv to batmand
Can batman adv nodes see batmand nodes and vice versa? Eric C. Conner Senior Software Engineer QinetiQ North America Technology Solutions Group 110 Corporate Dr.; Unit 2 Portsmouth, NH 03801 Work: (603)427-0205 ext. 208 eric.con...@qinetiq-na.com www.qinetiq-na.com
[B.A.T.M.A.N.] batmand advanced recipe for bitbake
Has anyone created a BATMAN Advanced recipe for bitbake openembedded.dev? thanks
[B.A.T.M.A.N.] avahi over batmand
Can avahi work over batmand or do I need batman-adv in order to run avahi? I have a test set up with 3 nodes all running the linux 2.6.31 kernel with batmand and an ad-hoc network. BATMAN tells me that all the nodes are connected through the center point which is the hop for nodes 1 and 3. I can ping all 3 nodes but only when the BATMAN daemon is running. However when I browse avahi services (avahi-browse -avr) from the end points, I can not see the services from the opposite end point (i.e. node 1 can only see the services from itself and node 2 not the services from node 3 and node 3 can only see its services and those on node 2, but not from node 1). Is there something special I can do with avahi or batman to get node 1 to see the avahi services on node 3 and vice versa? Thanks Eric

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] can't start batmand
I tried to start batmand with batmand wlan0 got back and error stating which iptables /dev/null returned an error Does anyone know what is the cause and/or solution to this problem? Thanks Eric
[B.A.T.M.A.N.] wireless adapter and linux kernel version
I have been trying to get my wireless network to establish an ad-hoc network and I just can't seem to do it. It appears the linux 2.6.31 kernel does not support the RealTek 8185L (Encore ENLWI-G2) wireless card I have. The drivers it does install are older and seem to not support Ad-Hoc networking. Can anyone recommend a wireless card and/or a linux distro that easily supports ad-hoc networking? I have the tried latest openSuse and Ubuntu distros. Is this a common problem with Linux? I have set up wireless ad-hoc networks before in windows and never really had a problem. Or better yet - does anyone have patches to the realtek 8185L drivers to use the net_device_ops struct as opposed to the deprecated net_device struct? Thanks Eric
Re: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [BULK] Re: required network to run
Simon thanks for the insight, and actually that is what I originally thought that a mesh routing protocol would do for me. But my question still remains, how do I configure my linux box so that it uses batmand to discover the other computers that aren't part of the network? batmand tells me it wants an active network interface to attach to (like wlan0, or eth1). But now I have a chicken and egg problem. I can't discover other nodes with the mesh routing protocol because I have no active network interface, but I need a network interface to find other nodes to connect to... I know I am still missing some key ingredient. I guess the important thing is just how do you configure the linux box to auto-discover a network, or moreover how do I configure batmand to auto-discover a network?

For example, imagine a city network where all nodes are connected to each other: You wifi cards signal is only strong enough for the next neighbor, so you pass the traffic to the next neighbor, which will foward it again until it has reached your destination. This means you don't see all nodes in a network, and you need a mesh routing program like batman to discover other nodes and find correct routes to them via other nodes. If you have all nodes in one little room, you don't need a routing daemon, of course. :) best regards, Simon On Wed, Dec 16, 2009 at 04:30:51PM -0500, Conner, Eric wrote: I am new to ad-hoc mobile networking, and have a few questions.
