We can save some space by using wpad-mini (as is the default usually in
OpenWRT) rather than wpad. The only reason we don't is because wpad-mini
is not compiled with support for IBSS-RSN. However if it works to just
add a compile-time option, we could save a good 500K or so, as we don't
need all of the WPA-Enterprise stuff that is included in wpad.

You got it!

In lieu of some discussion about Commotion-OpenWRT possibly supporting BATMAN-ADV, or some other routing schema similar to Libremesh, do note that would require the modified wpad-mini package retain support for batctl.

@technosopher and I built an image with wpad-mini (+IBSS RSN).
Everything works as expected and the node meshes just fine. Here is a
comparison of the sizes for the resulting wpad binary:

Mini:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 395109 Nov 4 23:14 /usr/sbin/wpad

Full:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 715717 Sep 25 14:28 /usr/sbin/wpad

Tomorrow @technosopher and I are going to package this up in a pull
request and we'll submit.

Just FYI:

Here is an output from df -h:

@westbywest I don't think batctl is dependent on wpa_supplicant, is it? Also, isn't batctl just a nicety? Last I checked, it was just a utility for more easily doing stuff you could do through sysfs anyway.
