Hi Gus,

I am using Ubiquiti SDK v5.1.2 together with Nanostation M5 and Bullet=20
M5. I already thought about trying newest OpenWrt but it doesn't support=20
DFS. Ubiquiti products instead are tested to comply with european=20
regulations. Although the tests did not take brand new ETSI regulations=20
into account.

There is some binary code in the SDK like the special Atheros wireless=20
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=20
a while.

Regards,
Franz
