The problem arises only if you have network devices which are loaded before 
the batman-adv kernel module has been loaded. Jow suggested to simply load the 
batman-adv module manually inside the hotplug handler. That works fine. 

Since I don't use / test the backfire branch I can't tell if the backfire 
package works as good as the one in trunk. But this is the only bug report I 
know of and both packages are almost identical.

It's hard to comment because the OpenWrt stable branch policies / timelines / 
etc are still a mystery to me. However, Jow is well aware of the problem, so 
that I feel confident it will be resolved at some point.
