Hi Antonio, thanks for your answer.

I explain a bit more my stage... I have a server with DHCP that is the 
default gateway of all BATMAN nodes and clients, and BATMAN gateways are 
connected to it fisically. For roamming, I won't have IPs of VLANs in 
BATMAN nodes and all default gateways of VLANs are configured in the FW.

Clients connects to wlan1.X, but that interface is created by hostapd 
when radius allows access to the network of that client (default dynamic 
vlan behaviour). As hostapd creates this interface on demand and 
destroys it when is killed, I can't add wlan1.X to the bridge (br0). 
However, there is arp traffic on wlan1.

Greetings.
Fernando
