Hi,
just did a small test an I think you must change the Kconfig for the batman- adv for staging. I am not 100% sure what is needed, but we definitely need PACKET or otherwise batman-adv will not be able to create a raw socket.
More information about that can be found in linux-2.6/Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt
Best regards, Sven
