Well, our website is about batmand/batman-adv. If you require documentation 
about OpenWrt go to their website and for wifi check the linux wifi docs.
We have to assume that certain knowlwedge is given otherwise we end up writing 
documentation about everything. Where does it end ? How to cross-compile / how 
does my kernel work / how does the IP protocol work / etc.

A document on "how to build $your_solution on top of batman" also is difficult 
to make. There are so many possible ways of doing things ..

Feel free to make suggestions on "how to get it working easier". We put a lot 
of effort into making things easy but we are willing to do more if you have a 
good idea.
