I tried to start batmand with
batmand wlan0
got back and error stating
which iptables > /dev/null returned an error
Does anyone know what is the cause and/or solution to this problem?
Thanks
Eric

Either iptables is not installed, iptables not installed in a path which is is part of $PATH, batmand is not started as root or which is not installed/not a builtin function of the shell.
Best regards, Sven
thanks for the info...I got passed that by installing iptables.
Now I get a second error
Error can't flush routing rules: operation not supported
Any ideas on this one?
Thanks Eric

iptables is optional but should help you to avoid well-known issues .
Now I get a second error
Error can't flush routing rules: operation not supported
batmand requires the kernel policy routing features enabled.

How do I go about enabling these features?
Thanks Eric

It is called "IP: policy routing" and can be found in kernels menuconfig under
-> Networking support (NET [=y]) -> Networking options -> TCP/IP networking (INET [=y])
The option is called IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES in .config. So just enable it, recompile your kernel, install it and reboot with it.
