To install batman on a wrt54gl running kamikaze I

1. installed kamikaze

Telnet
2. telnet root@192.168.1.1
3. passwd

SSH
4. ssh root@192.168.1.1
5. turned on nvram
    nvram set boot_wait=on
    nvram commit
6. ipkg update
7. ipkg install batman
8. ipkg install webif-batman
9. ifconfig br-lan up;  batmand br-lan
10. batmand eth1:0

browser
11.  turn on wireless, channel 1, ad-hoc
12.  mesh > batman> set primary device br-lan
13.   default route 3

Result.  I did this on 3 machines. I could see them pop up in kismet but they still replied "No batman nodes in range"
I am unsure about:
primary device
wireless options: client / ad-hoc / ap ?  channel ? (auto returns an "error -1")
other choices I need to make

suggestions?

in order to communicate all routers must use the same channel, essid and bssid.

have you got the solution to this? I was going to give it a try, I would like to know if there's any available tutorial on how to install and use it.

The discussion might have continued from here.
