Hi Sven,
now I see what was wrong, I'm really feeling so stupid.. :)
It was misleading that I reached the batman-adv download page (http://downloads.open-mesh.net/batman/stable/sources/batman-adv-kernelland/ ) browsing batman 0.3.2 download page (http://www.open-mesh.org/wiki/2009-06-13-batman-0-3-2-release ) and I got confused.

Thanks for your kind reply.

I didn't read enough about batctl and its use against most recent batman-adv version.
My fault.

As soon as i get back to the lab I'll try latetest version of both batman-adv and batctl and see what comes out.
