it possible to create this type of

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

wlan0s can be two adhoc interfaces (common case for a mesh) or also an AP/sta
pair.
Cheers,
Thanks but I need to create a repeater where I can't load anything on the root
AP, I can only access the repeater.
client1~~~~~wlan0~~~~~~~wlan0~~~~~~client2

I think this detail depends on how you decide to configure the bridging on the
root AP. batman-adv will simply provide you the connectivity between the wifi
devices and the "possibility" to create a bridge. Then it's up to you how
to
configure it all.
