# First command line argument = which wifi interface will be used for the mesh network
WLAN="$1"
 
# Second command line argument = what IP/MASK for the mesh network interface (bat0)
IPADDRESS="$2"
 
# Activates the interfaces for batman-adv
sudo ip link set "$WLAN" up
 
# Stop "network-manager"
# (needed to be able to "manually" config the
# wifi interface with iwconfig)
sudo service network-manager stop
 
# WiFi config
sudo iwconfig "$WLAN" mode Ad-Hoc
sudo iwconfig "$WLAN" essid hamlan-mesh
sudo iwconfig "$WLAN" channel 1
sudo iwconfig "$WLAN" ap 02:12:34:56:78:9A
sudo iwconfig "$WLAN" rate 54M
 
# Start "network-manager"
sudo service network-manager start
 
# Tell batman-adv which interface to use
sudo batctl if add "$WLAN"
 
# bat0 is created via the first command
sudo ip link set bat0 up>
 
# Configure IP address for bat0
sudo ip a add "$IPADDRESS" dev bat0
