It is complex and horrible. It is also badly implemented by many
wireless devices so is inconsistent.
However, batman has a much simpler interface. There is a lot less to
configure:
originator interval
aggregation to enable/disable
vis server/client mode
interfaces to use
So it should be possible to implement a reasonably simple interface. I
think only the interfaces is somewhat tricky and needs thinking
about. The rest can be individual files in /sys.
