Hi,
we have a similar situation at freifunk-berlin. Because of problems with
weather-radar we are forced to use DFS/802.11h compliant hardware. We
chose ubnt nanostations with AirOS in WDS/transparent-bridge mode.
If you want to *bridge* two networks, you need some form of WDS. Basic
AP<->STA does not have enough fields for additional MAC-addresses of
devices behind the STA.
So either you run OpenWRT with batadv+bmx6 on both NanoStations, or you
use AirOS in WDS-mode on both NanoStations and run batadv+bm6 with
ethernet-node behind those NS5. Mixing AirOS and OpenWRT (with or
without bridge mode) will - as far as i know - always break anything
that relies on correct MAC-adresses, like batman-adv or IPv6-NDP.
Regards.
Bastian
