Hi,

finally I finished updating all the batman OpenWRT packages. Additionally, you 
can find the tunnel kernel modul, the battools and batman advanced (layer 2) 
kernel module in OpenWRT now.
You need the latest trunk to get these updates. We are already working on a 
backport to 07.09 kamikaze but I'm not sure that these files are included in 
the official SVN repository.
Feel free to contact me if you have any thoughts / wishes / bugs on that.

Greetings,
Marek

Marek, correct me here but are you saying you included the tunnel module in
batman ipk? No need for that as there is already a separate kmod-tun for
kamikaze7.09.

Also, the official kamikaze7.09 includes batman-0.2 (I think) but there are
these nice /etc/config/batman and /etc/init.d/batman that come with it. Have you
included those in your package? I have played a bit with the init script to
include one-way-tunnel and two-way-tunnel parameters in /etc/config/batman but
if you want I can play some more and include most if not all parameters in the
init script?
Also does the package include both batman-0.3 and batman-exp-0.3?

Regards,

Pele

marek means the batgat module which i wrote. batman does its own tunneling and 
uses kmod-tun for it. this batman tunneling can also be done in the kernel 
space which improves the overall tunnel performance. i hope ;)

yes, the config files are also included. but as far as i understood they are 
not needed anymore in the not so distant future. OpenWRT has a new config 
interface called UCI which we are going to support. up to now we don't fully 
understand how this is going to work but as soon as we do we let you know.

Hi,

There is a typo in the batmand startup (init.d) script
the interface is refered as

interface=$(uci get batman.general.interface)
while it should be interface=$(uci get batmand.general.interface)
(ie. batman should be batmand)

similar is the case with the options too.

the uci command arguments are
uci get/set packagename.config_profile.option

Vinay

Hey!

I don't think its wise to use the start up number 100 for the init script. 
Actually batman will start first (S100batman sorts before S10boot) so all 
interfaces are still down.

thanks for your hints. I fixed the config files and the init scripts.

Have fun,

Hey!

I can confirm this bug: https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/3045 on the ixp4xx 
platform. Any hints?

does it help to activate policy routing here ?

make kernel_menuconfig 
Networking -> Networking options -> IP: policy routing
