And what is the MTU of the interface batman is running on ?

Did the iptables command I posted help you to fix your MSS problem ?

Ok, I see your problem. Batman could easily detect whether the host is part of 
any existing network and if not modify the routing rules. I see 2 options:
* adding more rules to jump in table 66
* adding the node to table 65 instead of 66

What did you do to make it work ?
