You're right, modules are an individual thing. I rather hoped for a hint to a backported openwrt-0.9 makefile ;-).
I'm not sure what an "openwrt-0.9" is but may be this helps you: https://dev.open-mesh.net/batman/wiki/Patches
It is working as you described, here it takes about one minute to switch to an active gateway.
Yeah, it always takes one minute - its the internal timeout for inactive gateways. :-)
By the way, you still can ping around and test the connection yourself. Either by using a simple cron script which runs every x minutes or by triggering your test script via the routing script. Depending on your setup/firewall/ISP you might experience problems pinging around. Also, if your users expect the internet to work for 2 hours per day you waste time and bandwidth in the other 22 hours of the day.
