Yes, batman-adv gateway is what I am using.

Do I need to write or find a daemon at gateway to sense internet
connection, once internet connection is lost (and does not recover
within like 2-5 minutes) then advertise batman-adv mesh network by
"batctl gw_mode client" to turn this node to be a client?

Thanks.
