Ok. Thanks a lot that you applied the patches so fast - even when the weather 
is so nice. :)

I have a small question about the topic "how to reduce the workload for you". 
We send the patch which should integrate batman-adv into net/ around two weeks 
ago to David S. Miller and the netdev@vger mailing list [1]. Some hours later 
Hagen Paul Pfeifer responded with some questions and different ideas - which 
we (batman developers and Henning Rogge from olsr) either answered and/or 
started to discuss them.

The problem is that the discussion stopped quite fast... actually there was 
only one mail from the netdev guys. This is quite irritating to me and the 
question arose whether we did something terrible wrong when we send the patch.

Maybe you could give us a small hint how to proceed further. If we should 
wait, poke around or maybe submit it in a completely different way. It is not 
about "getting it into net right away", but we would really like to get some 
responses so we can work on it to make it better.

batman-adv works quite well for us - but that doesn't mean that it is good in 
context of the current kernel development. And who should know it better than 
the netdev guys.

thanks for the mentoring,
	Sven
