Re: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] Problems to add Batman-adv in wlan0 Nanostation M5

[gtolon@inti.gob.ar]

Hi Esteban,

I don't see in the link that you pasted that they use opkg. I think they 
compile batman-adv before installing the image to the router, right?. 
Maybe this thread could be useful to you:

After installing batman-adv you can use the file /etc/config/batman to 
configure it.

Regards


Gabriel
