I added a small description here: https://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/Gateways

maybe another issue, but: shouldn't the default value for gw.sel_class be 1500 or such if BATMAN_V is selected?

maybe another issue, but: shouldn't the default value for gw.sel_class be 1500 or such if BATMAN_V is selected?

Why? The default value is now 5000 KBit/s for B.A.T.M.A.N. V and 20 for B.A.T.M.A.N. IV.

Ah ok, I didn't find that info.

So How do we add the changes from the wiki to the man page?

You could propose a patch on the mailing list ?
The file that needs patching is this one here: https://git.open-mesh.org/batctl.git/blob_plain/refs/heads/master:/man/batctl.8

Ah, I found out ow to check the man page beforehand with

man -l batctl.8
