There is a dissector for wireshark at
http://gitorious.org/wireshark-batman-plugins/wireshark-batman-adv
(compatible with 0.2, but haven't added new code to make it compatible with
new functionality in trunk). I will add support for protocol version 9 after
finishing some other non-paid work.

Your log is for version 9 of the protocol (trunk). So it is harder to read :)

As far as I can see only data from 00:22:fa:dc:9a:ce can be seen (send from us
aka laptop?). Have you tested if the adhoc connection between this two devices
(arm <-> laptop) is really working (just set up the adhoc network as usual and
then give them an ip instead of adding to /proc/net/batman-adv/interfaces. A
simple ping test should be sufficient to say that it works(tm)).

Best regards,
Sven
