[Olsr-users] [B.A.T.M.A.N.] point me to some OSI layer diagramsif possible ?

[Bhat, Ishwara]

You are right.
Sorry about the confusion. It is more of wireless stack layering issue.

I'm no expert on this driver because I never really used it (just had a
quick 
look through the code) but why do you think it is layer 2.5 ?

The page you provided clearly says:
open80211s is based on the mac80211 wireless stack and should run on any
of 
the wireless cards that mac80211 supports.

Seems it does not run over ethernet/VPNs/other_layer2 ...

Maybe you confused it with the layers inside of the linux wifi stack ?
