you can have a mechanism to detect if the uplink connectivity is down and then
have the batman-adv gateway switch to client. When the uplink is back, you can
switch to gateway mode again.

Depending on how your uplink works, you may not need to write a separate
daemon to check (though you can if you want). Most uplink solutions provide
some kind of scriptable event for up/down changes. Depends very much on your
setup and what you'd like to react to.

Cheers,
