Hi Esteban,
I don't see in the link that you pasted that they use opkg. I think they
compile batman-adv before installing the image to the router, right?.
Maybe this thread could be useful to you:

After installing batman-adv you can use the file /etc/config/batman to
configure it.

Gabriel

Hi all
I`m working on a academic develop project for improve the networks in
rural areas in Peru. We are doing some test with 6 Nanostation M5 for
create a mesh network.
I tried Commotion software with OLSR and all was Ok. Now, we are
testing BATMAN, with OpenWRT and batman-adv module, but I have some
problems.
I have compiled OpenWrt Backfire r32751 (Load: 0.09 0.10 0.05) and
installed batman-adv with opkg following this
http://wiki.openwrt.org/inbox/mesh.batman
When I put:
lsmod | grep batman
I get
batman_adv 67936 0
and seems to be load in the kernel
But when I try to add the interface wlan0 for activate batman in it,
the Nanostation remains locked and i need to reboot.
I have tried this with:
echo bat0 > /sys/class/net/wlan0/batman_adv/mesh_iface
and
batctl if add wlan0
with the same bad result.
What am i doing wrong?
That are my configuration files:

I have noticed that i have not the bat0 interface created,is it normal?
Do i need create another aditional interface like ath0?
I have been following that manuals:
http://pizza.hskflashcards.com/index.php?page=B.A.T.M.A.N.+Advanced+on+OpenWrt+How-To
http://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/Quick-start-guide
Any help o comment?
Do you recomend me to change to batmand instead?
Do you know if there is any BATMAN implementation for a mesh network
of Nanostation M5, easier to install and manipulate?
Thanks
