[PATCH 1/2] batman-adv: Move IRC channel to hackint.org
by Sven Eckelmann
Due to recent developments around the Freenode.org IRC network, the
opinions about the usage of this service shifted dramatically. The majority
of the still active users of the #batman channel prefers a move to the
hackint.org network.

MediaTek MT7612u and IBSS mode
by Maurice Smulders
Platform: Raspberry Pi 4B / CM4 with CentOS 8 stream 64 bit - 5.10.42 kernel
Trying to use this Mediatek USB device and I notice a - quite nasty - problem using IBSS mode. On startup of the IBSS network, there is a chance the Pi goes into a tizzy https://github.com/openwrt/mt76/issues/543 - when it's the first (and only) node.
I was able to dupe it consistently in my home - fairly static network - but not anymore in a lab environment. I cannot easily go back home - it's ~3000km from where I am at temporarily.
Does anyone have experience with these MediaTek devices and B.A.T.M.A.N. on lower performance nodes like a Raspberry Pi...
I have ascertained that NONE of the USB Realtek dongles work, as the kernel driver is missing IBSS support at this time...
I'm against an urgent deadline, and trying to understand what I can do to make this work
MfG,
- Maurice

[PATCH 1/4] batman-adv: Drop implicit creation of batadv net_devices
by Sven Eckelmann
The sysfs code in batman-adv was could create a new batadv interfaces on
demand when a string (interface name) was written to the
batman-adv/mesh_iface file. But the code no longer exists in the current
batman-adv codebase. The helper code to implement this behavior must be
considered as unused and can be dropped.

You forgot to send it to the B.A.T.M.A.N. mailing list. And it therefore
didn't appear in our patchwork. And you send stuff from the future - which is
rather odd.
Applied anyway.

irc update
by Aiyion.Prime
Hey there;
I just dropped my freenode connection for good and wanted to ask,
whether it'd be possible to announce via mail, if and where #batman
migrates?
Thanks in advance,
