Instead of touching the batman-adv code or using Alfred you could just
open a socket on the bat0 interface and send raw Ethernet frames having
the broadcast address as destination.

This is something you can do with any Ethernet compatible interface (so
also with your normal eth0) and therefore also with batman-adv.
