Hi,
I have a short question. I am using IBSS to create batman-adv mesh
network. To secure the IBSS, i am using the IBSS key. I noticed that
when i am on the mesh network, any device that is not having the key
also can ping and iperf to me. I thought IBSS key is supposed to
allow only legitimate device. Does anybody know where i do wrong
here?.
Rgds,
Zack.

This is more a linux-wireless question other than a batman-adv one.
batman-adv itself can't do much in this case since it does not know
anything about what is happening on the layers below.
In my opinion you are doing something wrong while setting up the
IBSS-RSN mechanism. (I guess you are using IBSS-RSN right ?)
A station not having the correct key should show up in the "station
dump" output of the other nodes with the "Authorized" attribute set to
"no". Is this the case? If not, then something i wrong with the
wpa_supplicant setup.
Cheers,
p.s. I'd recommend CC'ing the linux wireledd mailing list if you have
further questions.

Hi Antonio,
Thank you very much for your great support. Ok, now it clear to me
that i need to troubleshoot on my IBSS setup rather than batman-adv.
I will check again my IBSS-RSN.
Rgds,
Zack.
