Actually, for some basic tests you could skip the netns part and
just use veth directly:
$ ip link add veth0 type veth peer name veth1
$ batctl -m bat0 if add veth0
$ batctl -m bat1 if add veth1
$ ip link set up dev veth0
$ ip link set up dev veth1
$ ip link set up dev bat0
$ ip link set up dev ba

namespace":
http://blog.scottlowe.org/2013/09/04/introducing-linux-network-namespaces/
Extensively describes how to set up and use network namespaces
with veth.
Have fun :-).

Hello,
@Linus, I am a bit new to this and haven't much exposure to compiling
kernels and all. I will try out and see what I can do with it, but a
little more explanation would help a lot.
"Then you connect the namespace via veth-pairs." Didn't get the
namespace and making veth-pairs part.
Anyway
Haven't tried that myself yet, but maybe the new network namespace
support in the git master branch might be an easy alternative to
start with?
You could first try to compile and load the batman-adv
kernel module. Then you'd create a namespace for each virtual node
you want to have. Then you conne

Ofcourse I had considered doing it with 3 routers. Sensible it may be

Hi,
I think there was a previous suggestion of a few [at least 3] routers.
I find three is the minimum needed. Two to talk to each other and one
to listen to the conversation. They are cheap enough!
Emulating may make sense later, but timing problems due to emulation

Hi Kaushik N P,
I too have been experimenting with mesh. Another wrinkle comes from
there being no really open standard for RF mesh operation. So meshes ONLY
work well if a given manufacturer's chips are used. In other words having
a really open RF specification has yet to be done. GSM pro
Hello,
Good to hear it is tough to work on in Linux and that am not the only
person finding it difficult working on it.
@Ufo : Yes, it might be tough, but we learn from experience on working
on such stuff after all. I have two routers but want to setup a bigger
mesh bed with more nodes and would
Testing batman-adv in virtual maschines on laptops is the most complex
and non-realistic way to start with mesh-networking. So its a nice, very
demanding student thing.
its much more easier to buy some (more than 2!!) cheap wifi-routers!
they have proper wifi, more than one ethernet-interface

What do these 'confirmation met
Hello,
Thank you 'rise.net' for the suggestion. It has given me some ideas,
but what I hoped to do was to run the laptop with OpenWRT working with
Batman adv like a router. This would enable me in creating a more
extensive network without having to buy more routers itself and
hopefully provide me
