Good evening,

  I have tried what is suggested by Julius. 
Is there a command to check if babeld is working and which nodes are in the topology?
I’m trying to build this kind of network (the link between the workstation and the router is wireless), with 4 nodes.

But I can’t ping workstation B with workstation A. I don’t know why.
 Both babel nodes are in 192.168.2.1/255.255.255.255: are they supposed to be different?
Same question for the LANs (192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0)
I have two radios on my router: I use radio0 for the LAN and I use radio1 for the Babel.
The attached file is the configuration I’ve done.
Thank you so much for your help

Martin
