[B.A.T.M.A.N.] Switch backhaul based on connection - B.A.T.M.A.N - lists.open-mesh.org

      Hi all,
I have nodes A, B, C.
On all nodes, wifi and lan are bridged. Also, they are all connected via mesh.
|---> node B
ethernet <--> Node A <-- |
                                        | ---> node C
Node A is the exit node - connected via ethernet cable and node B and
node C are connected to A via mesh.
So, when I connect node C via ethernet, does it start using ethernet
as backhaul or still keeping mesh.
that is, when a client connects via wifi to node C, does the traffic
go via option 1 or option 2?
option 1:
client wifi <--> node C <--> mesh iface <--> node A <--> router
option 2:
client wifi <--> node C <--> ethernet eth0 <--> router
Thanks
