How can I raise the data rate to 30M+ if I use the adhoc mode=EF=BC=9F= As far as I know ath9k works usually well in adhoc mode and can reach much higher datarates. In any case the problem is likely to be ath9k specific, so batman-adv can't do much for that. > 2. can I use the monitor mode of WiFi card with batman-adv=EF=BC=9Fsome= one tells that it can be done=EF=BC=8Cbut when I batctl addif wlan0 =EF=BC= =88wlan0 is configured in monitor=EF=BC=89=EF=BC=8Cit shows that interfac= e type not support by batman-adv. >=20 you cannot add a monitor interface to batman-adv (as explained by the message), but you should be able to create to interfaces: an adhoc one to use with batman-adv and a monitor one to use for your purposes. This is what most people do.
