Hi!
Ubiquiti provides OpenWrt based SDK for their firmware. To my
information, it contains some proprietary madwifi-based WiFi drivers
with some older OpenWrt version. My question is how it would be
possible to run Batman on top of their firmware (thus not latest
OpenWrt). As Batman is in kernel, is is enough kernel-backwards
compatible to be able to run also on older (2.6) kernel versions? For
olsrd it is much simpler: you just install olsrd package and this is
it.
batman-adv supports old kernel versions starting from 2.6.29.
What kernel is exactly provided with that firmware?
I know about someone else which still maintain compatibility with much older
kernels, but I don't know the state. By the way keeping backward compatibility
with older kernels is really difficult..
