Re: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] IP connection lost when a node is rebooted

[Itamar <itamar@itamar.org>]

I have compiled both the kernel module and batctl from source (2014.1.0).
The problem remains. Whenever I reboot a node, its IP is never reachable 
from the network and the network can not be reached by it.

Things I have tried:

* DAT enabled
* DAT Disabled
* DAT not compiled (ticked "n" in the Makefile)

Of course, the tests were performed when all nodes in the mesh were with 
the consistent configuration and never mixed.

Another curious thing I have seen is that when looking at a tcpdump (via 
batctl) I could indeed see ARP requests to the pinged IP (the tcpdump 
running on the node hosting the pinged IP) but the node never replies.

What else should I try?

Thanks,
Itamar
