Hi. Is it possible to get batman-adv to coexist with olsr, working with different network prefixes?
Cuz it seems to me that the olsr traffic would all get routed by batman, and every node would think it could see every other node, and olsr would add all kinds of nonsense to the routing table.
batman-adv provides a virtual layer 2 switch which can be used through a virtual interface and olsr provides an ip routing table. So you can just start olsr using an interface which is _not_ the virtual batman-adv (aka bat0) interface.
This was explained a year ago during the Wireless Community Weekend 2010 [1]. Maybe you can find somewhere an example firmware which was made after that discussion.
Kind regards, Sven
