Anyone know if there are existing script functions to allow a Debian 
package to edit/add entries to /etc/network/interfaces ?

I'm trying to create a package which someone can install to get them on 
the mesh, rather than a list of instructions on what to edit, etc. The 
key thing (AFAIK) is making sure everyone is on the same BSSID and channel.

Anyone created this package for a batman_adv network already?

On a related note, is the on-air format for batman_adv reasonably stable 
at the moment? If thousands of FreedomBoxen[1] were to start using it, 
what's the likelihood they would all have to upgrade to a new wire 
format in the near future?
