Problem openWRT "backfire" and "kmod-batman-adv"
Hello,
I'm trying to build an mesh network with B.A.T.M.A.N Advanced for my bachelor's thesis. Building an Image used to be no problem when the Batman-package was called "kmod-batman-adv-kernelland". Since there is only "kmod-batman-adv" in the OpenWRT repositories I have the following problem: Compiling, transferring and connecting is no problem, but after I change some settings in "/etc/config/network" and "/etc/config/wireless" and restart the router the power led keeps flashing and there's no possibility to connect to the device anymore. Only ping is working with the ip I set it to.... When doing only a network restart via /etc/init.d/network restart the device shows: "Segmentation fault" and then freezes.
I tried compiling an Image on either 32 and 64 bit Ubuntu / Kubuntu.
Do you have any suggestions?
With best regards,
Tim

Please connect using a serial console and provide the output of dmesg.
Try to load and configure it by hand to check on which change the problem appears.
Best regards,

The package was simply renamed for the sake of simplicity.

As Sven already said - a logread output would be most helpful. Can you tell us what batman version you are using ?
