[B.A.T.M.A.N.] how to compile the latest version of batctl in OpenWrt 12.09

[liu]

Hello, I try to test the latest version of batman-adv in OpenWrt 12.09. 
I failed to compile 'batctl' because of the old version of 'libnl' in 
OpenWrt.The version '2014.3' and the development version of 'batctl' 
require 'libnl-3.0', but OpenWrt 12.09 only contain the 'libnl-2.0.1'. 
That's the problem. How to fix this? Anyone have built it in OpenWrt 
12.09 yet?

Thanks.

Best regards

liu

Now I switch to version '2013.4.0' of batman-adv.But when I run this 
command 'batctl if add wlan0-1', the system crash. And it works well in 
version '2012.3.0'. I want to know which version is suitable for OpenWrt 
12.09?

Thanks.

Best regards

We don't track which OpenWrt versions work with batman-adv. Technically, you 
have to check for kernel compatibilities. If the kernel is newer than batman-
adv it probably won't work. Newer batman-adv on older kernel has a good chance 
of success.

Yes, I have tried. On a OpenWrt 12.09 with kernel 3.3.8, 
batman.adv-2014.3 CAN NOT creates a 'bat0' interface.
You know, kernel '3.3.8' is a rather old kernel version, and '2014.3' is 
the latest batman.adv version.

Besides,  I want to know that from which version the feature of non-mesh 
client roaming is available?

Thanks.

Best regards,
Liu
