batman-advanced needs a howto. I'm a pretty smart guy, but this took me all week to figure out. I'm still shaky and my mesh network isn't working very well yet. I would be willing to put together some more detailed info for OpenWrt.
It would be great if you would write something. We can either publish it on open-mesh.net or link to your site. Christoph Pilka started writing a howto (in German) but the link it not accessable anymore (http://debian.asconix.com/batman-advanced-openwrt-howto).
Also, it's tedious to deal with /proc/net/batman-adv/* It's cool in hacky sort of way, but tedious. Is there any way that this could be manipulated with a script? brctl is a nice interface, how about bactl? "bactl show originators" "bactl show interfaces" "bactl set log_level 15" "bactl help" Of course, leave the /proc interface for hard-core types. ;)
The idea sounds interesting. We could integrate these feature into the battools in order to not create another tool. What do you think ?
