Thx for your report. I looked a little bit at the the call stack but it is really hard to guess the functions when you don't have the symbol table. It looks a little bit like most of the functions are kernel thread/scheduling related. Only one function <c00c8650> is from a module. Can you please send the /proc/modules file so we can find in which module it is so we can check if it could be a batgat related. Further investigations could be done by checking the symbols of batgat.ko with nm - but this would not help very much because it is stripped down. Maybe someone else has a good idea.
Now to something you said on the nightwing mailing list:
i think the version of batgat being used has a bug as confirmed by someone in the batman irc room, note only gateways have this issue, clients do not crash at all.
If you mean me (Lazhur on irc) then I have to say that I am not a developer nor a spokesman of b.a.t.m.a.n. and I never confirmed that it is batgat related - only that something crashed/lock up. I cannot find any crash related bug fixes in the batgat trunk directory - so it doesn't seem to be a known problem (if it is a batgat problem at all).
