Hi,

Linus has some problems sending mails to the list, so I forward his reply.

Could you try "batctl ping" too and check whether this is working
or not.

If that's working but the normal pinging is not, then it should be
a layer 3 problem - in that case we'd need the outputs of "ip
route show" and "ip address show".

If batctl ping is already not working then "batctl o" and "batctl
if" output will be interesting.

Hmm, that looks sane and correct, should work like that.

Is there anything weird in the output of "dmesg"? Any errors or
warnings?
