It is correct that kamikaze 7.x doesn't support linux 2.6 with stable wifi but
the new kamikaze 8.09rc1 [1] uses the b43 driver[2] and should support the
integrated bcm43xx hardware inside the wgt54gl + adhoc mode. You should be
able to run batman-adv on these devices.
The hardware I have here is currently in productive use - so I cannot test
that it really works.

Best regards,
