No, that does not work. You can run alfred on a machine without
BATMAN. alfred --help says:
server mode options:
-i, --interface specify the interface to listen on
-b specify the batman-adv interface configured on
the system (default: bat0)
use 'none' to disable the batman-adv based best
server selection
I'm using this "-i eth0 -b none" since my network topology has the
logger on a machine which is bridged into the mesh.

It is the alfred version, not the kernel module version.
