I have nodes A, B, C and all are mesh.
Node A is the exit node - connected via ethernet cable on eth0 and

So, when I connected node C via ethernet, does it start using

as backhaul or still keeping mesh.
AFAIK, there is still a bug that makes this not work.
Can't remember about such a bug...
You should not be connecting nodes via cable that can
see each other
via mesh, unless you disable meshing via wireless.
Why, I think it's perfectly ok to do so.
In hackmeeting-it we did that and we observed not a problem:
https://lists.libremesh.org/pipermail/lime-users/attachments/20170617/c4971…
that is, when
a client connects via wifi to node C, does the traffic
go via option 1 or option 2?
option 1:
client wifi <--> node C <--> mesh iface <--> node A <--> router
option 2:
client wifi <--> node C <--> ethernet eth0 <--> router
the ideal would be to aggregate the links,
Aggregate like multipath? I'm not sure there's any wireless community
network doing that.
use the best available, but
as I understand, there is a bug on batman-adv that makes this not work.
Does anyone know more about this? In my opinion should just work fine.

I don't have a device for checking but you can try with:
ip route show
and
bmx6 -c show=tunnels

so you can mesh via Ethernet?
Well, the routing protocols should be already active also on the
ethernet interfaces. You can just connect the routers with a cable.
Just take care of not connecting a LAN port on a LibreMesh router with a
WAN port on another LibreMesh router, you should connect LAN ports to
LAN ports and (sounds strange but should be just ok) WAN ports to WAN ports.
