Hey,

yep, bmxd/batman0.3 and batman-adv are both not compatible to each
other.

You should know that batman-adv does not have special gateway support
like the layer 3 batman versions. It can be considered as a big switch
where every node is one virtual hop away. You can therefore configure it
like your home LAN: install DHCP on your router, and that's it. If you
have multiple gateways, you might consider multiple DHCP servers, or
something else ... depending on your scenario. :)

regards,
Simon
