All, I am trying to create a WiFi repeater using hardware that cannot accommodate a normal "bridged repeater" mode. Is it possible to create this type of repeater 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.
