Thanks for reporting it (why didn't FF Pinneberg report it?). Can you please 
try following workaround:

    make clean
    make CONFIG_ALFRED_CAPABILITIES=n
    # only when you've installed it before
    make CONFIG_ALFRED_CAPABILITIES=n install
    # try it again
    ./alfred -m -i bat0

It would also be interesting to see the output of `ip addr show dev bat0` and 
the used kernel version.

Kind regards,
	Sven
