This is probably a openwrt question but even so it might have some
impact on batman-adv.

I am planing to use mac filtering through iptables on openwrt with a
default policy of deny all, allowing only by white list the clients that
will be allowed t connect.


My question to the batman team is if by applying this idea and since
batman-adv uses MACs to manage the routing; if i will have to white list
the other router MACs on the router or routers that will be filtering
MACs with iptables or batman-adv is not affected by mac filtering.
