[B.A.T.M.A.N.] batman advanced in openwrt

Hello all-

I am attempting to use batman-adv in openwrt 8.09.1 on three Ubiquiti
NanoStation2. This is just a test environment. For now, my goal is
to have:

node 1:
eth0 -> 10.0.0.1/24
ath0 -> bat0 -> 10.0.1.1/24

node 2:
eth0 -> 10.0.0.2/24
ath0 -> bat0 -> 10.0.1.2/24

node 3:
eth0 -> 10.0.0.3/24
ath0 -> bat0 -> 10.0.1.3/24

So far, I have an adhoc network on ath0, and I have installed
batmand-adv, battool, and kmod-batman-advanced. Do I need
badmand-adv? Is this the old userspace batman-adv implementation?

- "lsmod" shows that a module batman-adv is loaded, and the directory
/proc/net/batman-adv/ looks right.
- "cat /proc/net/batman-adv/interfaces" shows nothing.
- "ifconfig" does *not* list an interface called bat0.
- "cat ath0 > /proc/net/batman-adv/interfaces" doesn't complain.
- "cat /proc/net/batman-adv/interfaces" *still* shows nothing.

I have no bat0 interface. Rebooting doesn't help. At first, I only
installed kmod-batman-advanced. When that didn't work, I installed
batmand-adv and battool. Still nothing.

Any ideas? TIA,

Jake
