I fail to see the misunderstanding - just because DHCP does not work with $your_protocol does not mean it never works. DHCP is the recommended IP configuration tool in a batman-adv mesh network.
We found that DHCP works well to configure clients of the mesh, but a possible problem of using it to configure other mesh nodes is too many nodes running DHCP servers and potentially handing out conflicting information. For mesh /nodes/ we have two options on the table: AHCP (every node will come with ahcpd pre-installed but not running) and generating pseudo-random RFC 1918 addresses for the network interfaces done by the control panel, and working fairly well at this early date).
