this just means that batctl does not know how to print this packet type. Not 
surprising - you just created the packet type yourself. How should batctl know 
about it ? 

I'd say if you get this warning on the other end your packet was successfully 
delivered.

Antonio, wouldn't it be possible to get the bat0 mac address from the global 
table even if there were other clients bridged into that node ? The bat0 entry 
should be the only one with the no_purge flag set.

Cheers,
Marek
