batctl would have to remember this to work and batctl is no program which is
running all the time. So it has to use temporary files... no.
One point here is to get rid of the batman-adv only files for creation/
destruction of itnerfaces and use the standard rtnl netlink. So I don't want
to create a new interface which does this in the kernel which supports your
idea.
Kind regards,
Sven
