Re: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] Patch batman-adv for kernel 2.6.15

["Franz Böhm" <fboehm@aon.at>]

Hi Gus,

I am using Ubiquiti SDK v5.1.2 together with Nanostation M5 and Bullet 
M5. I already thought about trying newest OpenWrt but it doesn't support 
DFS. Ubiquiti products instead are tested to comply with european 
regulations. Although the tests did not take brand new ETSI regulations 
into account.

There is some binary code in the SDK like the special Atheros wireless 
driver. I don't think it's promising to replace the kernel.

It seems like I have to do my testing with batman-adv-kernelland 0.1 for 
a while.

Regards,
Franz
