Thank you for your reply!
I just used olsrd. I am a newbie for BATMAN. I want to try it.

From open-mesh.net and your description I almost know batman-adv is on layer 2 . But some applications need IP addresses, 
so use DHCP server to allocate IP address in the same network, or config manually?
Could you give me a guide document about setting and config steps of a mesh network  (about 30 nodes) using batman-adv  in detail. 

in "README" :
# insmod batman-adv.ko
# echo wlan0 > /proc/net/batman-adv/interfaces
The module will create a new interface 'bat0'

What's the difference between 'wlan0' and 'bat0'? 
Should I bridge the non-batman interface (e.g. eth0 ...) with 
bat0 or wlan0 ?   config the IP address of wlan0 , bat0 separately ?
