these experimental nodes were installed from daily snapshot. and batman installed with: opkg install kmod-batman-adv. Are these patches already present in batman-adv 2012.0.0?
If so, we might just re-flash the routers with current trunk; right?
No, these patches are not part of any release yet. You need to compile your own batman-adv with the patches applied. We have a document explaining how you should proceed: http://www.open-mesh.org/wiki/batman-adv/Building-with-openwrt
This will take a while because routers are already installed on roof-tops and the network is in use by some neighbors, but it's still experimental, so we will do what needs to be donde to get the best results possible.
There is no need to reflash all the routers. You can simply build a patched batman-adv package and install it on top of your current image. The important part is that you compile the batman-adv kernel module for exactly the same kernel you are running.
