Hello,
I am trying to connect to device by wifi mesh using BATMAN. I think that I am really close to achieve it but, when I probe making ping from 192.168.2.34 (actual device) to 192.168.2.33 the other there are not any response. Two devices are very near so, it is imposible not to be coverage. In addition, if I scan wifi the signal is found.
This is my UCI configuration:
/etc/config/wireless
config wifi-device 'radio0'
option type 'mac80211'
option macaddr '00:25:CA:3C:1F:97'
option channel '1'
option phy 'phy0'
option hwmode '11g'
option path 'soc0/soc/2100000.aips-bus/2190000.usdhc/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:0001/mmc0:0001:1'
option country 'ES'
option txpower '18'
config wifi-iface 'mesh'
option device 'radio0'
option mode 'adhoc'
option network 'bat0_hardif_mesh0'
option ssid 'ingerev'
option encryption 'psk2'
option key 'meshmesh'
/etc/config/network
config interface 'bat0'
option proto 'batadv'
## optional settings to override the defaults:
option routing_algo 'BATMAN_IV'
option aggregated_ogms 1
option ap_isolation 0
option bonding 0
option fragmentation 1
option gw_mode 'off'
#option gw_bandwidth '10000/2000'
#option gw_sel_class 20
option log_level 0
option orig_interval 1000
option bridge_loop_avoidance 1
option distributed_arp_table 1
option multicast_mode 1
option multicast_fanout 16
option network_coding 0
option hop_penalty 30
option isolation_mark '0x00000000/0x00000000'
config interface 'bat0_hardif_mesh0'
option proto 'batadv_hardif'
option master 'bat0'
option mtu '1560'
config interface 'bat0_lan'
option ifname 'bat0'
option proto 'static'
option ipaddr '192.168.2.34'
option netmask '255.255.255.0'
option ip6assign '60'
The result of this configuration is the following one:
bat0 and wlan0 are up. bat0 is master of wlan0 and it has got the IP address. If I use tcpdump tool in bat0 interface as the same time as I ping that is the result:
Thank you for you attetion. I am looking forward to reading your answers

This interface name is not valid, maximum length (including sometimes mandatory prefix) is 15 characters.

Thank You! I corrected it but, it does not still work.
bat0 is the interface who should have the IP. Isn't it?
Theorically is linked with wlan0 and, for this reason, wlan0 does not need any IP.

The current batman protocol doesn’t need IP addresses on its interfaces at all. The IP address is generally associated with the bridge over the batman interface or sub-interface and the interface(s) associated with the local network segment.
I don't see a bridge in your config for the wireless to associate with. I suspect that if you look at ip link and brctl show you'll find your network is not as you might imagine it.
Code/terminal output is much more readable using the preformatted-text button, </>

For initial testing I suggest placing bat0 into the br-lan which exists by default. Then you can set up a typical main router and one or more dumb AP configuration except the routers are linked by mesh instead of by cable. If you enable stp on the br-lan you can safely connect the routers by cable until you get the mesh working.
