Have you made sure that WPA-NONE works without batman-adv? It appears
that openwrt currently doesn't support WPA-NONE at all driver-wise, at
least this bug report suggests it (don't know if its a problem in wpa_supplicant,
madwifi, or any other driver):
https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/9190
You can try running WPA-NONE, set some IPs and let the nodes ping each other.
If this works, batman-adv should[tm] work too.
Cheers,
Simon
