Maksim, for clarification:
ATWILC3000 is a Wifi-Module for low-end embedded systems. This module consists of a Wifi-Chip + a small processor. The processor does stuff like authentication/registration with the Wifi network, WPA-Encryption and this kind of things. A typical use-case would be to add a Wifi interface to some sort of IoT device or some sort of computer peripheral device (like a Wifi-enabled printer or a smart-speaker).
Looking at the driver code it might not be impossible but it's just very unlikely that you will be happy to use it in combination with Batman. You would first of all need to connect the module to a much more powerful processor that runs Linux and Batman. But assuming you anyway need such a powerful processor for your application then you have a good chance that you can use a real Wifi-Adapter (with USB or PICe interface) instead of such a Wifi-Module.

Hello, I am creating a Wi-Fi ad-hoc network based on batman-adv. I read that batman-adv is able to work with any types of interfaces, but I still have a question related to ad-hoc networking. Will Wi-Fi ad-hoc network (based on batman-adv) work if Wi-Fi chip does not support 802.11s standard? Unfortunately, there is no mention of ad-hoc mode support in documentation of many Wi-Fi chips.
How to check if a Wi-Fi chip is suited to be used to create a Wi-Fi ad-hoc network based on batman-adv?
For example, is ATWILC3000-MR110CA an appropriate chip to build a Wi-Fi ad-hoc network based on batman-adv? Or maybe you could suggest any another Wi-Fi chips?
Thanks in advance
