Your English is quite good. To be honest I lost the overview about what=20
interface is added where and what is connected how. Some people might be ab=
le=20
to simply look at the uci config to understand the setup but I am not one o=
f=20
those.  :-)

Let me write down what I understood - feel free to correct me.=20

some nodes -- node1 -- adhoc[wlan0-1] + ethernet[eth0] -- node2 -- more nod=
es

Each node also has wlan0 for non-mesh clients but this is of no relevance a=
t=20
this point. What is eth1 for ?

You are saying that from time to time the packets loop between node1 and no=
de2=20
using adhoc & ethernet to fly forth and back ?

You should not have loops either way but it is easy to build loops in=20
complicated setups. At first we should understand your setup and=20
configuration. Drawing a little picture that shows what interface is connec=
ted=20
to what other interface also can help.
