The script mentions 2014.3.0. Anyway, both versions have known problems.

Ok, I have no idea why it failed. Maybe because it wasn't successful? Or because there was a problem? Or was there maybe an error? ;) A little bit more serious: Any info what failed? Any build errors? What does modinfo batman-adv say? Are there multiple batman-adv.ko in your /lib/modules/... and the wrong one was loaded by modprobe? Does `depmod -a` help (generates the module.dep again)? > The laptop I have is running Debian 9.5 with batctl debian-2016.5-1 > [batman-adv 2016.4] and the Beagles are running Debian 7.9.

I don't want to crush your hopes but if you use broken components then you will most likely end up with a broken finished product. And as I said earlier, there are numerous known problems in the batman-adv versions which you've mentioned earlier. Kind regards, Sven
