What is definitively not correct is that your capture indicates 4 times the 
same IP address (192.168.42.25) on 4 different interfaces. 
Can you check whether your capture, the alias-interface configuration (what is 
the output of ip a ?), or the daemon is wrong?
There MUST be a different IP address for each BATMAN interface in the network 
(also if a single BATMAN node has more than one interface). 
All BATMAN interfaces SHOULD  have the same netmask and broadcast address.

ciao,
