Hi Antonio,

thanks for trying the patch! In my case, it worked, I tried it with
ebtables -I INPUT -s MAC -j DROP or
ebtables -I INPUT -p 0x4305 -j DROP
(and the same for -I OUTPUT)

batctl td reported, that it's not receiving any batman packets anymore and also
the originator table was empty after a couple of minutes.

Hmm, and also that batping is timing out for you seems to indicate that it should work
on your side. Could you check with batctl td too? How long have you been waiting for
the originator table to clear? (dead nodes are not being cleared immediately in batman,
as they don't harm the routing decisions and we still need the last measurements in case they
might get alive again)

Cheers, Linus
