Here's an update detected with horst regarding my testing. Although using the git files from trunk to replace mac80211 and hostapd did solve the problem mentioned before; i found another issue that does not happen with mac80211 and hostapd from current stable AA which in its turn suffers from other problems.
Right now: DISTRIB_REVISION="r38621" plus http://nbd.name/gitweb.cgi?p=aa-mac80211.git;a=summary (wpa_suplicant.sh is not patched with Bruno's beacon_int patch and his patch fails to apply The routers suffer from IBSS network splits which are detected with horst with the follwoing "IBSS Split detected" (2 nodes) TSF outputs 0000000000000000 for the other router Also horst is only able to obtain the nodes ip's if adhoc is not encrypted. This happens every 10 seconds either having adhoc with PSK2 or without encryption. Batman-adv as well as L3 protocols are able to communicate between routers. This new problem does not happen with current stable AA mac80211 and hostapd. This article seems to identify the issue: http://wiki.villagetelco.org/index.php/Information_about_cell-id_splitting,_stuck_beacons,_and_failed_IBSS_merges!
