Please check the results of the commands.
"ip link" shows that the adhoc0 interface is down. Please make sure that the interface goes up. This is now definitely an OpenWrt+wifi driver question and not related to batman-adv.
The interface combination [1] is showing only "#{ managed, AP, mesh point } <= 8,". So you can try to deactivate your AP interface in /etc/config/wireless. Make sure that you only see the adhoc0 interface in `iw dev` after you've restarted the wifi.
Kind regards, Sven

Any success when only using adhoc0 without the extra AP interface?

Hi Sven,
I will give it a shot on monday and let you know. However, when using the BATMAN-adv in my 5 tplink routers, the AP interface keeps disconnecting and is not stable. The version of batman-adv is 14. Is this version of batman-adv unstable?
Thanks, Sailash M

batman-adv with the COMPAT_VERSION 14 (used in v2011.3.0 <= batman-adv < v2014.0.0) is either really old and unsupported (it has known problems which fill not be fixed by us anymore).... or you are using batman-adv-legacy [1] from Matthias Schiffer. If the latter is the case then please upgrade to the latest version from him, test again and then contact him when you need support for this version.
But to be honest, batman-adv is not managing the AP interface and thus it should have no influence on the AP interface authentication/deauthentication behavior or the AP interface state.
Kind regards, Sven
Hi Sven, This question may sound dumb. But I need your help in this please. I upgraded my openwrt to the latest version 15.05. I then tried installing kmod-batman-adv. It gave me error:
satisfy_dependencies_for: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for kmod-batman-adv: kernel (= 3.18.14-1-406f55e08cbd4433be5683443e405921) *
I followed the following steps: 1 . Note: If you downloaded an Openwrt release but intend to build the latest batman-adv package you might need to modify your feeds.conf(.default). Make sure you have "src-git routing git://github.com/openwrt-routing/packages.git" instead of e.g. "src-git routing git://github.com/openwrt-routing/packages.git;for-12.09.x".
This doesnt seem to work. Can you please tell me the steps on how to install the latest batman-adv in my 15.05 openwrt firmware. Thanks a ton.
Thanks, Sailash M

Not sure what this has to do with the the problem you quoted earlier. I would just have done following to generate 15.05 images which already include batman-adv:
git clone git://git.openwrt.org/15.05/openwrt.git openwrt-15.05 cd openwrt-15.05 ./scripts/feeds update ./scripts/feeds install kmod-batman-adv ./scripts/feeds install batctl cat << EOF > .config CONFIG_TARGET_ar71xx=y CONFIG_TARGET_ar71xx_generic=y CONFIG_TARGET_ar71xx_generic_Default=y CONFIG_KMOD_BATMAN_ADV_BLA=y CONFIG_KMOD_BATMAN_ADV_DAT=y CONFIG_KMOD_BATMAN_ADV_MCAST=y CONFIG_PACKAGE_batctl=y CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-batman-adv=y CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-crypto-crc32c=y CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-crypto-hash=y CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-lib-crc16=y CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-lib-crc32c=y EOF make defconfig make -j$(nproc || echo 1)
(make sure you remove the " " in front when you want to copy+paste the commands).
You can find the generated images in bin/ar71xx/
