batman-adv: Drop documentation about sysfs files
The sysfs files will be marked as deprecated in the near future. They are already replaced by the batadv generic netlink family. The documentation should not advertise its usage anymore and instead promote the generic netlink family and a userspace tool to access it.

The module is now waiting for activation. You must add some interfaces on which

batman can operate. After loading the module batman advanced will scan your
|
||||
systems interfaces to search for compatible interfaces. Once found, it will
|

create subfolders in the ``/sys`` directories of each supported interface,

e.g.::

|

$ ls /sys/class/net/eth0/batman_adv/

elp_interval iface_status mesh_iface throughput_override
|
||||
|
||||
If an interface does not have the ``batman_adv`` subfolder, it probably is not
|
||||
supported. Not supported interfaces are: loopback, non-ethernet and batman's
|
||||
own interfaces.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: After the module was loaded it will continuously watch for new
|
||||
interfaces to verify the compatibility. There is no need to reload the module
|
||||
if you plug your USB wifi adapter into your machine after batman advanced was
|
||||
initially loaded.

Some files allow to change batman-adv's behaviour to better fit your

requirements. For instance, you can check the current originator interval (value

in milliseconds which determines how often batman sends its broadcast packets)::
|

batctl -m bat0 interface del -M eth0
|

batctl -m bat0 interface destroy

$ cat /sys/class/net/bat0/mesh/orig_interval

There are additional settings for each batadv mesh interface, vlan and hardif

which can be modified using batctl. Detailed information about this can be found
|

in its manual.
