+Subject: [PATCH] batman-adv: check incoming packet type for bla
+
+If the gateway functionality is used, some broadcast packets (DHCP
+requests) may be transmitted as unicast packets. As the bridge loop
+avoidance code now only considers the payload Ethernet destination,
+it may drop the DHCP request for clients which are claimed by other
+backbone gateways, because it falsely infers from the broadcast address
+that the right backbone gateway should havehandled the broadcast.
+
+Fix this by checking and delegating the batman-adv packet type used
+for transmission.
