alfred will refuse to start if bat0 doesn't exist yet

root@48cfeb:~# alfred -i br-lan -m -b bat0
Could not find transtable_global for interface bat0. Make sure it is a 
valid batman-adv soft-interface

at boot time this can create a race condition, since wifi interfaces can 
take longer to be brought up, making bat0 appear much later than the 
time alfred init.d script is run. In the following example, 4 seconds later.

sending a patch for this in a minute, along with another bugfix which 
needs less explanation :)
