 Hi!
 
 What are the reasons (except for performance) of Batman being a kernel
 module? Is there a way for running it in user-space? We have some
 servers where we get donated bandwidth, but as people are running also
 other stuff on those servers they do not really like adding kernel
 modules and probably even rebooting servers for upgrading to newer
 Batman versions.

Why not using the out-of-the-tree batman-adv package? You can compile the latest
batman-adv module against the running kernel (it must be =2.6.29). You can find
more details in the README.external file that you will find in the batman-adv
out-of-the-tree package.

Hi!

Thanks for both ideas. KVM sounds great.

OK, so I have no more ideas against Batman. :-) And it got a go from
Kostko. So this looks very good. :-)
