You can enable/disable the verbose debug logging as well as choose whether or not to include the batctl tool. In addition, the batman-adv package comes with an init script which is installed per default. This script will run at boot time and can be used to configure your desired batman-adv options. It reads the batman-adv uci file to retrieve the settings which allows to specify interfaces, intervals, log level and more. -=== Advanced features === -If you experience build problems or simply intend to rebuild the batman-adv package only, you can tell OpenWRT to build a specific package and enable the debugging mode as follows: +h3.

Simply copy your patches into the "patches" folder inside the package directory (you have to create the folder in case it does not exist yet).
