Note that in usual setups, packets don't reach batman-adv with CHECKSUM_COMPLETE (I assume NICs bail out of checksumming when they see batadv's ethtype?), which is why the log messages do not occur on every system using batman-adv. I could reproduce this issue by stacking batman-adv on top of a VXLAN interface.
