Hi -

batman-adv is a kernel module, which should be already present on your Ubuntu machine. You can load it with "modprobe batman-adv". To control it, you have to install the batctl utility, i.e. perform "apt-get install batctl".
Note there are different versions of both the kernel module and the utility, as the developers are steadily working on improving batman-adv. You can always download the sources from
http://open-mesh.net and compile the version you want to use / have to use to be compatible, if the version in Ubuntu just isn't what you want.
In case you don't have the necessary prerequisites installed to compile software / external kernel modules, "apt-get install build-essential" will install the necessary bits.
