Package: batctl Version: 2012.1.0-1 Severity: wishlist Hi. Would it be an idea to include a boot script in the batctl package to make it possible to enable a batman-adm mesh node by just updating some values in /etc/default/batctl?
Something like this (need more work) is working for me on a Raspberry Pi: #!/bin/sh ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: batctl # Required-Start: $local_fs $remote_fs $network # Required-Stop: $local_fs $remote_fs # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 # Default-Stop: 0 1 6 # Short-Description: Enable batman-adv based mesh node # Description: Configure the first wifi network card found as a # batman-adv mesh node. ### END INIT INFO # # Based on http://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/Quick-start-guide # and http://freifunk.in-kiel.de/wiki/Eigenen_Rechner_in_das_Freifunk-Netz # # Set up bat0 network interface on Linux to join the mesh network in # Oslo, Norway by default.
