 The additional debug output is by default disabled. It can be en-

-0 - All  debug  output  disabled
-1 - Enable messages related to routing / flooding / broadcasting
-2 - Enable route or tt entry added / changed / deleted
-3 - Enable all messages
+0 - all debug output disabled

 The debug output can be changed at runtime  using  the  file
 /sys/class/net/bat0/mesh/log_level. e.g.
 
-# echo 2 > /sys/class/net/bat0/mesh/log_level
+# echo 6 > /sys/class/net/bat0/mesh/log_level
 
 will enable debug messages for when routes or TTs change.
