I removed the batmand-adv package, and all is well. This must be the userspace version.
Yes, you should not use the kernel version and the user space version at the same time. Actually, the user space version is obsolete and has been removed from our SVN (http://www.open-mesh.net/changeset/1283) and from OpenWRT lately. It created more confusion than anything else.
Agreed.
Great that you found your way through. We seeking to make things more obvious
- any hints ?
batman-advanced needs a howto. I'm a pretty smart guy, but this took me all week to figure out. I'm still shaky and my mesh network isn't working very well yet. I would be willing to put together some more detailed info for OpenWrt.
I'm sure that there are people like me who can "get it" if you just hold their hand through getting bat0 on one node to see bat0 on another node. adhoc mode? ahdemo mode? What is the difference? This might be a little off-topic for batman-adv but it's very relevant.
Also, it's tedious to deal with /proc/net/batman-adv/* It's cool in hacky sort of way, but tedious. Is there any way that this could be manipulated with a script? brctl is a nice interface, how about bactl? "bactl show originators" "bactl show interfaces" "bactl set log_level 15" "bactl help" Of course, leave the /proc interface for hard-core types. ;)
Overall, this is really great software, so I hope barriers-to-entry can be removed.
