May I propose that we schedule an IRC discussion for this topic ? I lost tr=
ack=20
of what you are actually trying to achieve and I see things getting more an=
d=20
more complicated.=20
Whatever idea you come up with keep in mind that somebody has to do the=20
following before this solution can be merged:

 * batman-adv code has to be written, tested & debugged
 * batman-adv kernel doc has to be written
 * batctl code has to be written, tested & debugged
 * man page has to be updated
 * user documentation for $your_new_mechanism has to be written

Unless you manage to convince somebody else to do the work for you that=20
somebody who has to do all work will be you. In other words: It is in your=

best interest to keep things as simple as possible.  :-)
