Hi,
For the German readers: I am documenting all the stuff on http://debian.asconix.com/batman-advanced-openwrt-howto but I think, the way I'm describing in the vis chapter is the way to get vis running in layer3 batman, isn't it?
its fantastic that you write such an extensive documentation. As soon as you feel ready I will add a link from our page to yours, so that people can find you.
I think there are 2 hidden misunderstandings in the howto:
* You are splitting up the VLANs and I did not quite get the reason. In the document you state the number of OGMs will be decreased. Whether it decreases or not heavily depends on the network attached to these VLANs. How does the topology look like ? May be I overlooked that section ?
* The vis-advanced daemon is not necessary here because the kernel module has the server built-in. All you need to do is activating a server (echo "server"
/proc/net/batman-adv/vis) which allows you to retrieve the information via
cat /proc/net/batman-adv/vis. The vis-advanced daemon goes together with batman-adv-userspace which is the user space implementation of the layer 2 approach. Its a bit confusing - we have to think about how to clean it up ..
In case you are aware of all these facts just discard my mail. :-)
