[B.A.T.M.A.N.] Configuration interface...

Should /proc/net/batman-adv/interface be replaced with an IOCTL interface similar to brctl?

How to design the kernel<->userspace interface that it doesn't end like wireless-tools?

I'm not so familiar with the iwconfig situation you seem to refer to. Could you outline the issues ?

It is complex and horrible. It is also badly implemented by many wireless devices so is inconsistent.

However, batman has a much simpler interface. There is a lot less to configure:

originator interval aggregation to enable/disable vis server/client mode interfaces to use

So it should be possible to implement a reasonably simple interface. I think only the interfaces is somewhat tricky and needs thinking about. The rest can be individual files in /sys.
