Hi,
However using the latest trunk Openwrt, batman-adv it simply does not communicate via the bat0 interface.
bat0 is up, batctl confirms correct interface, MTU set at 1527 or 1528 or even a touch higher still does not produce batctl pings or originator lists.
in your previous mail you said increasing the MTU value helped and now it does not ? It is a bit confusing .. Would you mind to clarify ? We had some bugs in the 2011.3.0 release which led to connection issues, therefore we released 2011.3.1. However, the originator list was unaffected. You might want to give it a try.
Thus I was wondering if anybody has had the same problem, to assist me compiling WRT trunk with a older version, I tried the Wiki procedure for older version editing makefile to 2010.2.0 which produced a error , " can;t remove /usr/sbin/batcl ;permissions at the build stage.
The location of the batctl binary changed. You can find the necessary changes in the OpenWrt repository.

To answer your first question, Sorry for the confusion, When I tried a trunk on a new UBNT , a few weeks ago I got the no comms result, so I promptly compiled with Backfire and all was well.
However , a member of the VT-DEV list has the same problem while trying to run from precompiled trunk, on a new tp-link wr703 unit.
Unfortunately the wr703 is only supported on trunk, so with the pre-compiled version he gets the same results I had.
I took this to be related, But if a patch is out, I reckon the only way is to build from a new svn update to solve?
Thanks for the help.
