Hi,

I downloaded the OpenWRT trunk and compiled the i386 image before loading it 
into a qemu environment. I can confirm that batman does nothing if started 
without a debug level. It seems the main thread is not doing anything. 
Interestingly, if I compile & run batman on my debian machine it runs without 
problems. I guess OpenWRT uses some different libs / compile time options / etc 
that provoke that problem.

As a short term workaround I suggest you start batman with a debug level and 
redirect the output:
batmand -d 3 wlan0 > /dev/null 2>&1

I will try to debug this during the coming days but can't promise anything as 
I'm looking for the needle in the haystack.

Regards,
Marek
