[B.A.T.M.A.N.] some basic questions

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] some basic questions

[Perazim]

I am trying batman-adv on trunk openwrt for ubiquiti bullet2. I am using
trunk because I want 2011.4.0.

In menuconfig I select Kernel Modules/Network Support/Kmod-batgat +
kmod-batman-adv + enable batctl.

Now I see that in Network/Routing and redirection/Batmand is auto
selected (I cannot deselect it)

Is this normal behavior? I see that besides the kmods, I also have
batmand installed on the router. I thought that this would have not been
included after the introduction of batman-adv.

Is this normal behavior or is there something wrong with menuconfig that
is causing batmand to be included?

Thanks,

Perazim

kmod-batgat belongs to the Layer 3 batman, do not select it.

Thanks, that took care of the problem.

A followup question: I would rather use branch but it only has
batman-adv-2011.2.0 whereas the current version is 2011.4.0.

Followed the instructions here:

http://www.open-mesh.org/wiki/batman-adv/Building-with-openwrt



...
Changing the batman-adv / batctl version¶

It is also possible to modify the batman-adv version if you ever wanted
to build an older/newer version than configured in the package:

stable version:

Adjust the PKG_VERSION variable to download & build the stable release
you are interested in.

cat openwrt/feeds/packages/net/batman-adv/Makefile
[..]
PKG_VERSION:=2010.0.0
[..]



In doing this, I had to also update the md5sums for the sources.

I now receive this error while building:

Did something change between 2011.2.0 and 2011.4.0?

Thanks,

Yes, there were changes. You can check the svn history of the batman-adv 
package in OpenWrt or search through the mailing list archives. This question 
was asked & answered before.
