You are right that compiling a kernel module for different versions and kernels out there is an uphill battle. An application in userspace is better suited for this approach. Alternatively, you have to convince the manufacturer to build batman-adv by default - batman-adv is part of the stock Linux kernel after all. Nonetheless, even if you manage to solve the software compilation, distribution and adhoc mode inavailability / wifi bugs with different drivers you still have biggest issue unaddressed: power consumption. Ad-hoc mode has no power save mode I know of which leads to a steady battery drain as soon as you turn on your wifi. You don't even need to turn meshing and you can watch your smartphone's battery die Of course, driving into the desert to show how 2 smartphones can talk to each other over a mesh is quite catchy but totally impractical in today's life. Until power saving can be solved in an intelligent manner everything else is a pointless exercise. And no, carrying a car battery in your hand bag to power your phone is not a practical solution either. ;-) Cheers, Marek+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

i have not tried to compile for android as i am for now just looking at its possibility in theory but i am interested in hearing about your progress.
In regards to the mailing list you need to register yourself to be able to email it.
