[B.A.T.M.A.N.] batman over wireless bridges

I am wondering how well batman works over wireless bridges
like this:

batR <--> wifiB <--> wifiB <--> batR


meanings:
BatR: openwrt router with batman installed
wifiB: wifi bridge

What is a wifi bridge? How is it configured?

batman-adv uses the MAC addresses in the 802.11 header to understand
which node is a direct neighbour, therefore the bridge in the middle may
screw up this mechanism. It really depends on how the bridge is
implemented (it is not a standard component).

Hi Tom,

We are currently using batman-adv over Ubiquiti Nanobridges M5 for
Freifunk. That works just fine, these devices are able to
transparently forward the batman-adv ethernet frames.

Cheers, Linus

p2p link distance is going to be my main issue, but that for another thread
