+# Know options for the main interface are:
+#  IF_BATMAN_IFACES			Space separated list of interfaces to be part of this B.A.T.M.A.N. adv. instance
+#  IF_BATMAN_IFACES_IGNORE_REGEX	Interfaces to ignore when verifying configuration (regexp)
+#  IF_BATMAN_DISTRIBUTED_ARP_TABLE	'enable' or 'disable' DAT of this B.A.T.M.A.N. adv. instance
+#  IF_BATMAN_MULTICAST_MODE		'enable' or 'disable' the multicast mode of this B.A.T.M.A.N. adv. instance
+#  IF_BATMAN_GW_MODE			Set the gateway mode of this B.A.T.M.A.N. adv. instance
+#  IF_BATMAN_HOP_PENALTY		Set the hop penalty of this B.A.T.M.A.N. adv. instance
+#
+# Known options for underlying interfaces are:
+#  IF_BATMAN_IFACE_PENALTY		Set the hop penalty of this B.A.T.M.A.N. adv. interface
