so far everything is correct but the deprecated "route -n" command shows you 
only one routing table. As the log indicates the default route went into table 
68. You can see it using:

ip route ls table 68

More information regarding the routing tables can be found here:

You need to NAT on your gateways (wrt54gl) internet interface. 
iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -o $your_wan_if -j MASQUERADE

Depending on the batman version you use it might be required to NAT on the 
gate0 interface on the client side in a similar fashion. With batman version 
0.3.2 its not necessary anymore.
