[B.A.T.M.A.N.] mdns over batman-adv

I am using batman-adv and can see multiple nodes in my ad-hoc network.
 However I can't seem to see the avahi services of the nodes that require a
hop.  Is there some configuration I need to get this to work?

If avahi doesn't work, would bonjour or JmDNS work better?

Thanks

I've never actually tried/used avahi. But as far as I know
zeroconf uses arp in ipv4 networks to detect available / coliding
ip adresses which should work well with batman-adv. For the
service discovery (i.e. for mDNS) multicast IP packets are being
used, these as well should be forwarded to all other batman-adv
nodes and mesh-clients.
So as far as I know, there is no need for a special configuration
to get avahi working. But if anyone else has some deeper knowledge
about zeroconf stuff? (or might even have some practical
experiences)

Cheers, Linus
