Subject: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH next] batman-adv: Update compatible kernel version number
Date: Sun, 20 Mar 2016 12:40:55 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1458474055-9857-1-git-send-email-sven@narfation.org> (raw)

batman-adv currently only builds against official kernels >= 3.2. Older
kernels (>= 2.6.29) have only incomplete compat(-include) support which
will not be extended anymore.

The next release will also share mostly the same code as kernel 4.6 and
thus by definition is compatible with Linux 4.6.
