Open-Mesh

September 5th, 2025: The B.A.T.M.A.N. team is excited to announce the release of the September 2025 update for batman-adv! This release includes various bug fixes and code cleanups.

Since the kernel module is always dependent on the specific Linux kernel it’s compiled against, providing precompiled binaries on our website is not feasible. As always, you can find the signed tarballs in the download section:
