Marek..

I got the binaries from the openwrt prebuilt packages. However, now I
rebuilt the image and built batman-adv 2011.myself. I will try this now
and let you know.

However, now I am running into a much bigger issue. If two routers are
plugged in to the same switch, bridge loop avoidance doesnt work and
both of them are stopping responding to pings.

Here is my config.

bat0 if:
wlan1: active.

wlan1: Mesh Network.

wlan0: Infrastructure network.
eth0 : 4 lan ports
eth1: 1 wan port

br-lan : wlan0 eth0 eth1 bat0

In case anybody else wants the binaries for Openwrt 10.03.1 RC 4 , let
me know I can send it to you.
