[B.A.T.M.A.N.] Batman 0.3 + Freifunk setup questions

Hello,

I had batman 0.2 + freifunk working.

Each router was 10.0.0.* and had the same wlan address. Something
happened and then batman just started silently dying on the gateway
router 10.0.0.1 (with the address 10.0.2.146 from the router connected
to the internet). I erased nvram and reinstalled with separate 10.0.5.*
addresses for the wlan and that seemed to work (with no http access to
the routers and ssh via the 10.0.5.* addresses).

I had wanted to stay with batman 0.2 because of the web interface.
That's no longer practical. 0.3 is the preferred batman, so I should
use it. I've taken a look at the docs:
https://dev.open-mesh.net/svn/batman/trunk/batman/INSTALL

and
"RoutingVoodoo."

assuming a fresh install of freifunk with *no OLSR* running what
parameters would I want to set:

adsl
|
10.0.2.1 [home router ppoe]
|
freifunk 1 [gateway]
does subnet matter?
lan 10.0.0.1
wlan do I want 10.0.0.1 or 10.0.5.1?
wan via dhcp?
essid, bssid, channel all the same for ff routers
myessid, 02:CA:FF:EE:BA:BE, 12, ad-hoc
what batman parameters will I want to pass?
shall I create an init script or is there one? 0.2 had the init and
the minutely 'watchout4batman'

freifunk n non-gateway nodes
lan 10.0.0.n?
wlan?
wan via dhcp?
batman -p 10.0.0.1 -r 3 (or 10.0.2.146 freifunk 1's wan address)
eth1 br0 vlan1?

Anything else I should be aware of? Any other recommendations? (e.g.
"Scrap that this is exactly how you do it: 1. 2. 3. "
