I am wondering how well batman works over wireless bridges like this:
batR <--> wifiB <--> wifiB <--> batR
meanings: BatR: openwrt router with batman installed wifiB: wifi bridge

What is a wifi bridge? How is it configured?
batman-adv uses the MAC addresses in the 802.11 header to understand which node is a direct neighbour, therefore the bridge in the middle may screw up this mechanism. It really depends on how the bridge is implemented (it is not a standard component).
Cheers,
Hi Tom,
We are currently using batman-adv over Ubiquiti Nanobridges M5 for Freifunk. That works just fine, these devices are able to transparently forward the batman-adv ethernet frames.
Cheers, Linus

p2p link distance is going to be my main issue, but that for another thread
