Before adding bat0 to the bridge br0 I can communicate via the mesh 
interface. I configured ip addresses for the bat0 interfaces on my devices 
and the ping worked without problems. But I understood from #173 that 
pinging was possible in that case, too. I'm referring to #173 because I 
can see the ogm messages received via wlan also at the bat0 interface, 
which was not the case in 2013.1.0 and earlier - if I remember my tests 
correctly...

In the meantime I found out that not only batman-adv stops receiving the 
ogm messages at ath0 but also the wpa_supplicant does not receive EAPOL 
frames any more as soon as bat0 is attached to the bridge br0 if I try to 
use WPA with the mesh interface (wpa_supplicant -i ath0). But I can see 
the EAPOL frames at the bridge interface br0 (via batctl td br0). Strange.

I'll come back to you as soon as I have tested your latest patches.

Thanks for your support,
Andreas
