Thanks for the steps to reproduce. That should help a little bit. I don't have hardware here at the moment to test it. So cannot tell what the problem may be. Maybe another person has some free time to test it and check for a possible problem (but I don't think that anyone active has a WRT54GL). what you could try is to setup the stuff by yourself using http://open-mesh.net/wiki/batman-adv-quick-start-guide and test which command may cause the problem (when it is batman-adv related). > As I already mentioned I'm not very used to Linux, so I have not yet > found a way to connect to the router with serial console without > building an JTAG-Cable. Is that right? No, JTAG and serial port are completely unrelated: http://nuwiki.openwrt.org/oldwiki/OpenWrtDocs/Hardware/Linksys/WRT54GL#serial.port But yes, you must build something. But it is highly recommended to have some serial console on embedded devices anyway. Best regards, Sven
