commit 5317331775c3168b8155b03ec89b1c4c508b9043 Author: Sven Eckelmann sven@narfation.org Date: Mon Feb 11 17:10:26 2013 +0800

batman-adv: Allow to use rntl_link for device creation/deletion

The sysfs configuration interface of batman-adv to add/remove soft-interfaces is not deadlock free and doesn't follow the currently common way to create new virtual interfaces.

An additional interface though rtnl_link is introduced which provides easy device creation/deletion with tools like "ip":

$ ip link add dev bat0 type batadv $ ip link del dev bat0
