Currently, when installing the out-of-tree module on distributions that use gzipped modules, batman-adv.ko will be installed next to batman-adv.ko.gz, which is selected by kmod.
By changing the install path to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates/net/batman-adv/ and running "depmod -ae", we make the newly installed module used by kmod.

would it be cleaner to run depmod -e $(uname -r) instead of using -a ?
Cheers,

Why? The module doesn't have to be build for the current kernel.
Kind regards, Sven

Ok, then maybe $(uname -r) is not the appropriate way to get the version of the kernel we are compiling the module for, but I think we should run depmod only for that kernel.
However, is a minor problem. I see every other kernel module acting the way I described. But we can live anyway I think :)

I've just opened compat-wireless and it does a `/sbin/depmod -a`
Kind regards, Sven

Oh, ok. If they do that, I think we can live with it too. :)

I removed the -e option from depmod, as it caused a warning on my system.

Applied in revision 515bdd0.
