Complete configuration means: brctl show, ifconfig, cat /proc/net/batman- adv/interfaces (or batctl if) and ping output.
Could be the first one in the list as brctl fails. CONFIG_BRIDGE is not configured in the device kernel. Is batman-adv dependent on this? I'll recompile the kernel and see what happens (it's a slow process), in the meanwhile, what other kernel configurations are needed for batman-adv?
Bridging is not a requirement.
However many uses typically use bridging to build bigger networks. They bridge bat0 with eth0 to form one big layer 2 network.
However you don't have to do this. I've run OSPF on the bat0 interface and just routed traffic over it just like any other network link in the network.
