Hi All,

Is there anybody have a real working configuration files with B.A.T.M.A.N on Kamikaze?

I have few IXP4xx boards running Kamikaze 7.07, and ipkg install batman from openwrt.org server.
Don't know how to configure them and enable them to work.
Some files like :
/etc/config/network;
/etc/config/wireless;
/etc/config/batman.

and many others.

Anybody can help? Please.

I have partial success on running it. But not yet.

Here is some of the config files:

etc/config/network:

# Network configuration file

config interface loopback
    option ifname    lo
    option proto    static
    option ipaddr    127.0.0.1
    option netmask    255.0.0.0
config interface lan
    option ifname    eth0
    option proto    static
    option ipaddr    10.96.2.1
    option netmask    255.255.255.192

config interface wifi0
    option ifname    ath0
    option proto    static
    option ipaddr    5.0.4.1
    option netmask    255.255.0.0

config    interface wifi1
    option ifname    ath1
    option proto    static
    option ipaddr    5.0.4.2
    option netmask    255.255.0.0

config interface wan
    option ifname    eth1
    option proto    static
    option ipaddr    192.168.10.2
    option netmask    255.255.255.0
                option gateway          192.168.10.1


/etc/config/batman

config batman general
    option interface        ath0
    option announce        10.96.2.1/32
    option gateway_class        2   
    option originator_interval   
    option preferred_gateway
    option routing_class
    option visualisation_srv   

Other client node can ping 10.96.2.1; (and I can see 10.96.2.1 255.255.255.255 is on the routing table) but if I change announce network to 10.96.2.1/24 which is supposed to connect whole 10.96.2.x network while 10.96.2.1/32 only connect one node. But it does not work. (10.96.2.1 or 10.96.2.0 255.255.255.xxx is NOT on the routing table).

Any comments on it?
Many thanks. Have a nice holidays.
