BATMAN will switch by default when one link has a better TQ (towards the final 
destination) than the other link, so I believe this should happen by default.

Normally you would want IBSS mode or 802.11s mode work. BATMAN can also work 
in AP/Sta mode, although the packet loss counting may be biased since 
broadcast handling works a bit different than in IBSS/11s. But for point-to-
point links it might just work.

If your radio and CPU are powerful enough, batman-adv is able to handle it, 
yes.

Cheers,
