Update on this...

As I said previously, after updating to the latest batman-adv,  both 
routers connected to the lan stopped responding to pings.

I was playing around with the switch settings and setting " Edge + Root 
protection with STP" on the ports connected to the routers wired 
connection brought them back.  Now they act according to the bridge-loop 
avoidance document and pick one of the routere to be the primary router 
to the lan.

Any idea why this is happening ?

Thanks

Vinay
