I've been lurking on this list for a few weeks, but finally tried compiling and running the batman-adv module from the svn sources.
It seems to work fine between my two test machines so far, but I noticed some weird sequence numbers when doing a dump with 'batctl td'. In the sequence below, I had 'rover' running and active on rover's eth0, then I activated the eth1 interface on hilltop for a few seconds, then de-activated it.
It seems like when rover re-sends the OGM from hilltop, it gets the sequence number wrong (1->256, 2->512, 3->768). Is this my lack of understanding of how it should work, a bug in batctl's display or a bug in batman-adv?
rover is kernel 2.6.31-20-generic (Ubuntu karmic), hilltop is kernel 2.6.26-2-686 (Debian lenny)
