This release *TODO* + +This release doesn't contain the flow dissector support for batman-adv unicast packets. We highly recommend to apply the "flow dissector patchset":https://patchwork.open-mesh.org/cover/17240/ on the target system's kernel.

As the kernel module always depends on the Linux kernel it is compiled against, it does not make sense to provide binaries on our website. As usual, you will find the signed tarballs in our download section:
