Hi devs,
I found out that the batman-adv kernel modules is quite out-dated in Linux Mint (and probably also Ubuntu/Debian unstable).
Using 'lsmod batman-adv' it says: version 2013.5.0. But the current version is 2014.3.0.
Is it on the planning to update to the newest version? Or what could we / I do to update the package(s)?
The Debian/Ubuntu/Mint kernels are updated by their respective maintainers, independent from us. These kernels have the in-tree batman-adv versions included as they were released with the kernel. So just update your kernel to enjoy the new batman-adv.
If you want to use bleeding edge, you should go with our releases from the webpage, but those don't get packaged in the official distributions.
Cheers, Simon
