The following commit has been merged in the master branch: commit af22dfdd8e4266467c1998d9ea65f93a82aa7e18 Author: Linus Lüssing &lt;linus.luessing(a)web.de&gt; Date: Tue Oct 12 09:56:38 2010 +0000 batman-adv: Fix wrongly formatted %pM in bat_dbg() bat_dbg() invokes debug_log() which invokes the kernel's vscnprintf(), which invokes the kernel's vsnprintf(), and not the customized bat_vsnprintf(), which backports the %pM to older kernel versions! Therefore this commit ports a customized vscnprintf() to bat_printk.c, too, making mac addresses being displayed correctly with bat_dbg() again.
