Usually I ignore mails which are send to me directly about batman-adv without 
Cc'ing the mailing list. But I trust that you (at least) tried to send a mail.

But I never saw your mail in the queue of pending mails (maybe Marek did). 
Please send your mails next time as plain text and not with html content.

At least I could find that your mail bounced on Jan 4 17:17:17. So you should 
have been informed that it was rejected (for whatever reason).

You don't use an official kernel and the compat layer of batman-adv can only 
support major releases or Linus' development tree. But you can try to change 
the netdev_master_upper_dev_link compat layer under compat-
include/linux/netdevice.h. Try replacing all "KERNEL_VERSION(4, 5, 0)" with 
"KERNEL_VERSION(4, 4, 0)" or whatever the LINUX_VERSION_CODE of your 
development kernel is.

I guess this is causing the problem because you use changes which are for 
Linux 4.5 but your kernel still uses the LINUX_VERSION_CODE for Linux 4.4

Kind regards,
	Sven

[jens]

guess its something similar as described here ..
https://cccfr.de/wiki/freifunk:batman-adv?s[]=batman#ab_kernel_317-rc1
the call of your described function needs more arguments, which ones
that are .. you have to find out
