Antonio,
I am planning to start programming Ubiquiti and TP-Link Routers in two weeks for a very large BATMAN mesh deployment.
Although many patches I have seen on this list involves multicast traffic I have seen some others.
Is the current OpenWrt release stable enough for deployment or are there some "must have" patches requiring a build from scratch for a successful deployment?
Regarding Barrier-Breaker: The default settings in OpenWRT with bridges are unfortunately broken (in that breakes multicast, which means broken IPv6):

(the first one is my "favourite", a typical OpenWRT feature patch: awesome idea, good intention, but being applied to the repo without any peer-reviewing and broken; instead of going through upstream first...)
You'll probably want to disable the multicast-to-unicast feature or even the bridge snooping as a whole for now.
