I guess I should start with: 1. How should I set up the preferred gateway? 2. what do I need to do besides batmand interface? 3. Thoughts on how to setup a second nic on a computer in order to allow it to work as a visualization server?

Okay. I'll try that. I was looking at some routing some of the udp packages batman needs. well iptables -F killed the router (that would make sense, flushing the iptables on a router)...
I'll try
iptables -t filter -I INPUT 2 -p udp --dport 1966 --sport 1966 -j ACCEPT;
iptables -t filter -I OUTPUT 2 -p udp --dport 1966 --sport 1966 -j ACCEPT;
iptables -t filter -I ipfilter 5 -s 103.0.0.0/8 -d 103.0.0.0/8 -j ACCEPT;

Sorry. I didn't want to type a a lot of info without knowing what would be useful.
It's Batman 0.2 compatibility version 3.
I'm very unsure about a few things. when I type ifconfig on the wrt54gl I have following devices br-lan eth0 eth0.0 eth0.1 lo wl0
the web interface on x-wrt offers me br-lan and eth0.1 by default and eth0.0 once I bring it up on the cli. so I use ssh and start batmand br-lan eth0.0 eth0.1
at one point I had vlan0 but it disappeared without my (consciously) disabling it.
I chose eth0.0 as the primary interface and routing class 1.
ifconfig eth0.0 103.0.0.(number of router) netmask 255.0.0.0 broadcast 103.255.255.255
I'll try ifconfig br-lan 103.0.0.* and use it as the primary interface.
I have 8 wrt54gl's running openwrt + batman. I set all to auto channel + ad-hoc.
I'm trying this startup script. ifconfig eth0.0 103.0.0.* netmask 255.0.0.0 broadcast 103.255.255.255 & ifconfig wl0 103.0.0.* netmask 255.0.0.0 broadcast 103.255.255.255 & batmand eth0.0 eth0.1 wl0 & iptables -t filter -I INPUT 2 -p udp --dport 1966 --sport 1966 -j ACCEPT & iptables -t filter -I OUTPUT 2 -p udp --dport 1966 --sport 1966 -j ACCEPT &
I did a kismet scan and only 4 are showing up. All 8 have wlan lights blinking in sync.
Should I manually set the channel?
Do the essids matter?
Should the lan ip be the same as the ip I give the batman device?
do I need to use wan ips?
