Hi Gabriel

Remember that BATMAN is a Layer 2 mesh, not layer 3. 

It would be possible to do what you want. Simply don't add the l2 interfaces to BATMAN, put IP addresses from a different subnet on the interfaces, and B and C can use the link l2 for themselves, and use the bat0 interface for access to the mesh subnet.
