It would be great if you would write something. We can either publish it on 
open-mesh.net or link to your site. Christoph Pilka started writing a howto

(http://debian.asconix.com/batman-advanced-openwrt-howto).

The idea sounds interesting. We could integrate these feature into the 
battools in order to not create another tool. What do you think ?
