Package: batman-adv-source Version: 2010.0.0-1 Severity: serious After v2.6.32-rc3-13-g7ffbe3f the kernel net_device notifier will report new net_devices before the kobj is initialised. This means that we cannot use it in that state to create or sysfs folders bellow the net_device sysfs folder.
When batman-adv is loaded and a new (unrelated) device is created, the kernel
will oops or complete fail on 2.6.33+
That makes it in my (maintainers) opinion unsuitable for release.
The patch is "batman-adv: Create batman_if only on register event" and
currently waits to be approved as valid fix.
