Hi,

thanks to Sven's patches we made the transition to debugfs rather quickly. All 
batman tables (originator table / gateway table / translation tables) and the 
vis data output have been relocated to debugfs. Even the former batman device 
(used for layer2 icmp data) has been moved to debugfs which brings us an 
important step closer to the multiple mesh support.

@Andrew: I attached the revised sysfs ABI files. Do you think it is feasible to 
get these last patches into 2.6.35 ?

Cheers,
Marek

Description:
                Indicates the status of <iface> as it is seen by batman.

Description:
                Indicates whether the batman protocol messages of the

Description:
                Defines the interval in milliseconds in which batman
                sends its protocol messages.

Contact:        Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de>
Description:
                Each batman node only maintains information about its
                own local neighborhood, therefore generating graphs
                showing the topology of the entire mesh is not easily
                feasible without having a central instance to collect
                the local topologies from all nodes. This file allows
                to activate the collecting (server) mode. Once
                activated the topology can be retrieved by reading
                the vis_data file.

The merge window is still open, so it might be possible. 

However i unfortunately don't have the time at the moment. Maybe Sven
could generate the patches against Linux next and submit them to Greg?

Ok, will do that today.
