I am using OpenWrt Backfire.
One sign that I am using nonstandard setting is that a non-batman node 
will end up in a throw route of the batman nodes.
But if it should work without firewall, then I will be happy with my 
current setup.

Thank you for the link. What I am seeing is that traffic from local wifi 
net does not "go down" to the tunnels, but goes through the batman nodes 
untunneled. Maybe I have to set up some routes from the local wifi net?
For your reference here is the network setup again (N is the node 
number, ip of the node/netmask len):
backbone batman network: 10.42.0.N/24 (for batman nodes)
local wifi net: 10.42.N.1/24 (for non-batman users, dhcp served from the 
node in force mode)
local lan: 10.43.N.1/24 (for wired users, DHCP served from the node)

Páty, Hungary. We are experimenting with participatory democracy, and 
this is one of the side effects:)
