As i said, its a 0.2 from December. It is not the current 0.2. From
the current main.c:

http://www.open-mesh.org/browser/branches/batctl-0.2.x/main.c
41	void print_usage(void) {
42	        printf("Usage: batctl [options] commands \n");
43	        printf("commands:\n");
44	        printf(" \tinterface|if  [none|interface]  \tdisplay or modify the interface settings\n");
45	        printf(" \toriginators|o                   \tdisplay the originator table\n");
46	        printf(" \tinterval|it   [orig_interval]   \tdisplay or modify the originator interval in ms\n");
47	        printf(" \tloglevel|ll   [level]           \tdisplay or modify the log level\n");
48	        printf(" \tlog|l                           \tread the log produced by the kernel module\n");

loglevel and log are not supported by the 2.6.33 kernel. 2.6.33 uses
/proc/net/batman-adv/log_level, not /sys/module/batman_adv/parameters/debug
which this version of batctl is trying to use.

49	        printf(" \ttranslocal|tl                   \tdisplay the local translation table\n");
50	        printf(" \ttransglobal|tg                  \tdisplay the global translation table\n");
51	        printf(" \tvis_server|vs [enable|disable]  \tdisplay or modify the status of the VIS server\n");
52	        printf(" \tvis_data|vd [dot|JSON]          \tdisplay the VIS data in dot or JSON format\n");

vis_server and vis_data are not supported by 2.6.33. 2.6.33 still has
the old json and dot formatting in the kernel and /proc/net/batman/vis
being written to enable/disable client/server functionality, read from
the get the formatted data.

I think svn revision r1463 of batctl is about right for kernel 2.6.33.
