Hi all

I`m working on a academic develop project for improve the networks in
rural areas in Peru. We are doing some test with 6 Nanostation M5 for
create a mesh network.

I tried Commotion software with OLSR and all was Ok. Now, we are
testing BATMAN, with OpenWRT and batman-adv module, but I have some
problems.

I have compiled OpenWrt Backfire r32751 (Load: 0.09 0.10 0.05) and
installed batman-adv with opkg following this
http://wiki.openwrt.org/inbox/mesh.batman

When I put:
lsmod | grep batman
I get
batman_adv             67936  0

and seems to be load in the kernel

But when I try to add the interface wlan0 for activate batman in it,
the Nanostation remains locked and i need to reboot.
I have tried this with:

echo bat0 > /sys/class/net/wlan0/batman_adv/mesh_iface

and

batctl if add wlan0

with the same bad result.
What am i doing wrong?

That are my configuration files:

root@OpenWrt:~# cat /etc/config/network
config interface loopback
	option ifname	lo
	option proto	static

I have noticed that i have not the bat0 interface created,is it normal?
Do i need create another aditional interface like ath0?

I have been following that manuals:
http://pizza.hskflashcards.com/index.php?page=B.A.T.M.A.N.+Advanced+on+OpenWrt+How-To

http://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/Quick-start-guide

Any help o comment?
Do you recomend me to change to batmand instead?
Do you know if there is any BATMAN implementation for a mesh network
of Nanostation M5, easier to install and manipulate?

Thanks
