  As mentioned earlier, the netlink config restructuring in batctl will be
splitted in multiple steps. The first step was already merged and the
RFC changes for the netlink interface in batman-adv were just posted.

Since it doesn't make sense to have a full implementation in batctl when
the batman-adv part is not yet in a finished state. But it also is useless
to have only the batman-adv RFC part without a userspace tool. The
(by default disabled) config subcommand is (my) solution for this problem.
It allows developers to play around with this interface and assign new
values for specific keys and to read the current config state.

Make sure that you enable it during the build:

  $ make clean; make CONFIG_config=y

Kind regards,
	Sven
