Hi All,

I was able to compile/link batman statically and configure using the instructions given by Sven

 
LDFLAGS="-s -static" /usr/bin/make
 
You can check it with `file batmand`. It should print something like
batmand: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), statically 
linked, for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, stripped

$ wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode adhoc

$ iwconfig ath0 essid testnet

$ iwconfig ath0 ap 02:00:de:ad:be:ef

$ iwconfig ath0 channel 10

$ ip addr add $IP brd $BRDCAST dev ath0

$ ip link set ath0 up

On running the command wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode adhoc I get the following output

ath0: unable to register device

ath0

I currently have 2 devices and use the following IP address configuration

IP :192.168.1.10 & 192.168.1.11

BRDCAST: 192.168.1.255

Finally I run ./batmand ath0

This echos :Using interface ath0 with address IP and broadcast address BDCAST

To test I tried pinging one device from the other, but it doesn’t seem to work.  Have I missed out something or is my configuration just wrong. Also whats the best way to test if the configuration and devices are running correctly.

Thanks

Kartik
