[B.A.T.M.A.N.] batman-adv: Force line topology

Hello, I am developing my thesis on mesh networks. And I'm currently doing some tests with batman-adv. So my question is: I need to create a line topology. For example: A-> B-> C-> D

Of all the options I tried, I could not find a solution to do this https://lists.open-mesh.org/pipermail/batman/2012-September/008019.html https://lists.open-mesh.org/pipermail/batman/2011-July/005169.html

I can not use the ebtables because I am using the wlan0 interface. And when I try to create a bridge on the interface (wlan0) gives me an error.

root@OpenWrt:~# batctl if del adhoc0 root@OpenWrt:~# brctl addbr bridgeWlan root@OpenWrt:~# brctl addif bridgeWlan adhoc0 brctl: bridge bridgeWlan: Operation not supported

There is already a way to force a topology in batman-adv?

I'm blocked with no solution.

Thanks in advance.
