What I wanted to say here: "I would like to get an Acked-by reply from

You've also worked on the netlink support (a lot) and you have at least one
change of batman_adv.h [1] which can clearly be traced back to you. I would
therefore be really nice when you either could also send an Acked-by or tell
us about your concerns.

Thanks,
Sven
