Hi, I dont understand why but some time my nodes show msg:

Warning - packet contains unknown ether type: 0x86dd

when exec batctl td wlan0.

Can anyone tell me what mean? and if it is as problem how to fix.

This is not a real problem, but a warning about a functionality which is not implemented (yet) in batctl. The minimal tcpdump-like functionality of batctl is just not able to decode all common packet types. It will only assist you during smaller debugging sessions, but is not meant to be a full tcpdump replacement. You should use wireshark whenever you need better (and more) dissectors for your work.
