[B.A.T.M.A.N.] Current OpenWrt build

["Jay Brussels" <jay@dslx.net>]

Antonio,

I am planning to start programming Ubiquiti and TP-Link Routers in two weeks for a very large BATMAN mesh deployment.

Although many patches I have seen on this list involves multicast traffic I have seen some others.  

Is the current OpenWrt release stable enough for deployment or are there some "must have" patches requiring a build from scratch for a successful deployment?
