Hi,

I only saw your replies in the mailing archives, I probably was not
signed up to the list correctly when you answered. The issue is resolve=
d
now but that is why I am breaking my own thread.

this is in fact what I tried first. But bridiging the interface causes
the batman-adv information in /sys/class/net to get lost. Maybe because=

I have to do things in a different order or because veth is really not
the right interface type.

what do you mean by "adding it to the lxc container"?  I tried bridging=

the bat0 interface into the container as a separate nic. That did not
yield positive results.

Unfortunately if I risk crashing the host, this option is not viable fo=
r
me yet as I cannot simply restart the machine once it crashed.
