using BATMAN adv?
If I correctly got your question you may want to connect two nodes via
wireless,
then install batman-adv on top of the wifi interfaces ans consequently bridge the bat0 with the ethernet interface:
wlan0~~~~~~~wlan0 . . bat0 bat0 . . br0 br0 . . eth0 eth0 | |ETH____/ _______ETH
wlan0s can be two adhoc interfaces (common case for a mesh) or also an AP/sta pair.

Thanks but I need to create a repeater where I can't load anything on the root AP, I can only access the repeater.
client1~~~~~wlan0~~~~~~~wlan0~~~~~~client2 | ETH____/
I think this detail depends on how you decide to configure the bridging on the root AP. batman-adv will simply provide you the connectivity between the wifi devices and the "possibility" to create a bridge. Then it's up to you how to configure it all.
