| 12 | B.A.T.M.A.N. (better approach to mobile ad-hoc networking) is |
| 13 | a routing protocol for multi-hop ad-hoc mesh networks. The |
| 14 | networks may be wired or wireless. See |
| 15 | http://www.open-mesh.org/ for more information and user space |
| 16 | tools. |

| 23 | This option enables BLA (Bridge Loop Avoidance), a mechanism |
| 24 | to avoid Ethernet frames looping when mesh nodes are connected |
| 25 | to both the same LAN and the same mesh. If you will never use |
| 26 | more than one mesh node in the same LAN, you can safely remove |
| 27 | this feature and save some space. |

| 34 | This option enables DAT (Distributed ARP Table), a DHT based |
| 35 | mechanism that increases ARP reliability on sparse wireless |
| 36 | mesh networks. If you think that your network does not need |
| 37 | this option you can safely remove it and save some space. |

| 46 | output is controlled via the module parameter debug. |
