Re: [manet-dlep-rg] London meet up?

[Henning Rogge <[e-mail]>]

One option to allow DLEP with adhoc wifi might be to configure the
local MAC address of the routers interface towards the DLEP radio with
the same mac address as the local radio.

This way you can send them over the wifi link without having to do a
nasty MAC-NAT style thing.

It would be a help to be able to reconfigure the MAC on the router
BEFORE I have to open the TCP session.

It might work reconfiguring it afterwards (will trigger new ARP/ICMPv6
requests I think).
