* Package name    : batman-adv-kernelland
  Version         : 2013.4.0
* URL             : http://www.open-mesh.net/
* License         : GPL
  Programming Lang: C
  Description     : source for the batman-advanced kernel module

 This package provides the source code for the batman-adv-source kernel
 modules.  Kernel source or headers are required to compile these
 modules.
 .
 B.A.T.M.A.N. (better approach to mobile ad-hoc networking)
 is a new routing protocol for multi-hop ad-hoc mesh networks.
 B.A.T.M.A.N.-advanced is the implementation of this protocol
 on ISO/OSI Layer 2, allowing mesh networks to be used as a virtual
 switch. With this approach, LANs and WANs can be easily integrated,
 and more protocols (like DHCP, IPv6) are supported.
