[B.A.T.M.A.N.] Looking for batman-adv 0.1-alpha

[Tobias Gieseke]

Hi,

I'm looking for Batman-advanced 0.1-alpha (compability version 1). We've 
got some meshnodes III from a company called Saxnet and they seem to 
work with this old version.. I can't find it in the repositories so 
perhaps someone can tell me where to find it, or send it to me directly. 
I need it for i386 architecture.
Is there a chance to get batman-adv running on open-wrt?

kind regards,

Tobi

What repositories are you referring to ? 
Nobody can just send you some batman-adv modules as your kernel is rather 
unknown. You need to match the exact version (including patches) or it wont 
work.
Batman-adv runs perfectly fine with OpenWRT and was integrated. Look at this 
page for more information: https://dev.open-mesh.net/batman/wiki/Download

Marek

Hey Tobias,

are you using the kernelland or userspace version of batman-adv? If you
want to use the userspace version, it's enough to compile and copy the
binary from your desktop to the meshnode (it's i386 after all). 

However i'd recommend to use the latest revision of
batman-adv-kernelland. For this you'd need to compile the modules for
the kernel. AFAIK they use a debian based system, so you could probably
use our Debian packages:

http://packages.debian.org/sid/batman-adv-source
http://packages.debian.org/sid/batman-adv-battool

(you'd need their kernel source packages to compile it, thou ...)
Please note that the userland version was intended as proof of concept 
and we might only support the kernelland version in the long term.

OpenWRT also supports batman-adv btw. :)

best regards,
	Simon

Hi Simon,

and thanks for the helpfull informations so far. As there is a command 
"batmand-adv" available on the meshnode i assume they use the userspace 
version of batman-adv (correct??). Can i copy the executeable file from 
the meshnode to my desktop an run it??
I'd really like to use the current version of the kernelland but i loose 
the warranty of the meshnodes if i make any changes on the command shell 
via ssh or serial port :-( I will think about that when i've finished my 
tests ;-)

Sorry, but my question to open-wrt was not precise enough. I wanted to 
know if there is a chance to get batmand-adv running on open-wrt with 
broadcom wifi. AFAIK batmand-adv is only running on kernel 2.6 but with 
kernel 2.6 broadcom wifi is not running on open-wrt (according to the 
open-wrt homepage).  Maybe you know a trick to get batmand-adv running 
on the Linksys WRT54GL or the Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 WiFi-Router, with WiFi 
running of course.


Kind regards,

Tobias

Yep, that's the userspace version. And yes, you can copy it to your
desktop. It should [tm] work. ;)

Mhm, no idea if you can backup the whole system image or something, and
re-flash it after your experiments, but that would probably void the
guarantee as well ... ;D

Well, you can also use batman-adv userland on the Broadcom, that should
work fine. "Kernel 2.6 doesn't work (properly) on broadcom/openwrt" is the same 
info i have, no idea if this has changed ... :(

best regards

It is correct that kamikaze 7.x doesn't support linux 2.6 with stable wifi but 
the new kamikaze 8.09rc1 [1] uses the b43 driver[2] and should support the 
integrated bcm43xx hardware inside the wgt54gl + adhoc mode. You should be 
able to run batman-adv on these devices.
The hardware I have here is currently in productive use - so I cannot test 
that it really works.

Best regards,
	Sven
