as Sven pointed out, debugfs was not used for configuration (except for very
deep tune parameters which are really for debugging anyway). We use sysfs
(formerly) and now rtnl for configuration.
However, debugfs has quite some tables showing the current state of the mesh
(read only) which are obviously interesting for many users as well. Therefore
we want to change to a netlink based interface in the long run, similar to
what the wireless stack and iw are doing. This will also enable new features
like proper namespace support, which we are going to integrate soon.
Cheers,
Simon
