If your non-batman clients don't need incoming connections, you could=20
NAT outgoing connections :
   [client]-->[adhoc ath1]-->NAT-->[br-mesh]
You would have to run a DHCP server on the ath1 interface to give those=20
clients a private IP and tell them to use the private IP on ath1 as=20
their router.
